hi,

I have a p4 3.0ghz EMT64 ,512m ram.

I recently tried to install fc6 x86_64 on my pc ... everything went fine but after restart before the first time login area the screen goes blank whereas the x86 works fine.

I have checked the dvd too it showed no error.

please help

What graphics chipset? Any errors reported?

i have mercury 865GV chipset(inbuilt graphics card 96mb)... and no errors just black screen

oh.. But than how did the normal 32bit version work.. can there be a diff btwn the two recognising the onboard gfx??

there was no problem while installing both the versions and the x86_64 also loads all the services (the gui part...like setting hostname and all that) even the first time config is displayed but then blank

Try switching to virtual terminal 2 by pressing ctrl+alt+F2, it may require you to log in. Log in as root and give the following command

Code:

system-config-display

Then

Code:

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

if this command doesn't work then try replacing gdm with kdm and see if that works.

^^ system-config- wont work without X(display).so try some other cmd like xorgconfig etc,OR pls author post what is ur Display which board etc

k...will install the x64 version again and then tell u.

thanks for the help
