antiX-23 installation image boot problem
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FH4H)
I am trying to install AntiX-23 on an old Samsung laptop with VIA electronics (video driver openchrome). AntiX-21 runs OK on this machine. I can't get the installation image to boot all the way with any of the available boot options, not even with the legacy kernel and failsafe boot. It gets as far as preparing to load X, but then I just get a slideshow of variously coloured screens.
Unfortunately whatever is happening also locks up the keyboard, so I can't get to a virtual console either. If I could, presumably I could install in text mode or at least have a look at the Xorg.0.log file and get some idea of what is going wrong.
How do I get round this block?
