[OpenIndiana-discuss] Samsung NP-R480-JS02CA

[Guy Woolley]

  Just an idea

Does it crash at the point where you would expect Gnome to come up ? If 
so could be your Nvidia GE218. The Nvidia driver shipped with OI_148 
certainly crashes with my GE220. However the live CD loads OK with the 
VESA option chosen. There was a bug in the earlier Nvidia drivers that's 
now been fixed - see the Openindiana HCL.
