[OpenIndiana-discuss] NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU not supported on hipster

Hello,

still not a very detailed description.
In the case you described I recommend a user to first install OI to disc in text mode or vesa mode and to then nail down what actually happens.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/adm/messages would be the first places to look.

Non-HDD case (and generally) : As for how to get hold of these in case of a "non-booting" (sigh, what? why? until which pint?) CD/DVD or USB you already named the most fitting possibilibiets:

As I suggest every time here on this very list: Boot to single user, start sshd manually, check which ip address gets assigned.

Then ^d and continue the boot.
After impact (or also before) you can ssh into jack:jack at your-ip and watch what happened.

Good luck and I'm back not before 2am next month ;)



best regards,
