Thx for answer i'll check when i back to home, im at work now but: i have another question,:
I tried solution from: how to boot aptosid from usb and used from manual: dd if=/path/to/aptosid-*.iso of=/dev/sdf. Soo i used command dd if=/home/bryn1u/aptosid.iso of=/dev/sdc1 (pendrive). When install finished i wanted to open it and i couldn't. Only changes which i saw, it name of pendrive (from pendrive on aptosid) and nothing else. My usb pendrive doesnt want to boot and i can't open it. I tried with flash disc usb 250 GB segate and the same problem. Any solution ? |

Some clues about what hardware you have might help someone guess what the problem might be when you try and boot.
Also please clarify if you see anything between hitting enter to choose aptosid and the black screen.
Finally was it really grub (did it say grub) or was it a graphical screen (with the F2 language menu at the bottom left and some other FN menus at the bottom)? |

It wasnt really grub it looks like grub with options as u wrote F2 language etc ... My hardware:
- AMD Quad-Core Processor A6-3400M with Turbo CORE Technology up to 2.30
- AMD Dual Radeon HD 6720G2, 1 GB Dedicated VRAM
- 4 GB Ram DDR3
- 750 GB HDD
Ubuntu installs well. |

From the release notes:
Quote:
For KMS to function in combination with ATi/ AMD radeon graphics, firmware images (firmware-linux-nonfree, see below) are required, which can't be shipped on aptosid live media, while X.org should transparently fall back to vesa on problematic cards, special attention might be needed in rare cases. If X doesn't manage to start on ATi/ AMD radeon graphics cards, it might help to supply "radeon.modeset=0" as boot option for the live CD and to install the required firmware package "firmware-linux-nonfree" on the live system, before installing to the harddisk. Once firmware-linux-nonfree is installed, kernel parameters like "radeon.modeset=0" or "vga=791" should not be used anymore, as they might interfere with KMS operations, which are needed for radeon to work properly.
Or in other words, try adding "radeon.modeset=0" at boot time.
If that doesn't work I think it would be worth trying to see if the output is "just" going to the wrong card (as you say you have two video cards)? |

| You can try and put the cheatcode in
Code:
/etc/default/grub
The line you want it in looks like this
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
so when all is done, it will look like this
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet radeon.modeset=0"
There has to be a space between quiet and radeon.modeset=0
save and update-grub and reboot |

You want firmware-linux-nonfree (from non-free) NOT firmware-linux-free.
If that isn't it I wonder if it is "just" putting the video out on the wrong card/connector? |
