GParted forum → Live Media → GParted text stops scrolling [solved]
I have windows XP pro and am trying to create a new partition to dual boot ubuntu. So I boot up with the GParted disk, hit the auto configuration. then a bunch of white texts starts scrolling down a black screen. but then it stops and nothing else happens. the last line says
io scheduler cfq registered
Obviously there is a boot problem with the autoconfig option.
Just try another option from the boot menu.
I have tried many different options on 4 different versions the 2nd HP one works but I have no GUI I think if I knew the commands I could do it.
which is the Gparted version you used?
Do you have any error message?
Do you have a text screen, a black graphics screen, a graphics distorted screen?
Can you give more details on your hardware (motherboard, chip set, graphics card).
(Topic moved to the Live Media section)
I have tried GParted 3.3-7, 3.4-7, 3.4-8, and 3.4-11. The 3.4-8 was the one I got the HP option to work but I didn't try it on the others.
NO error messages
yes i have a text screen graphics not distorted
I have a Sager NP2090
Intel Core 2 Duo 7300
NVidia 8600m gt 512 mb
2gbs ram
motherboard no idea
also i have typed "GParted io scheduler cfq registered" in google and found others have had the same problem but I've seen no solutions.
I have exactly the same problem with a Sony VAIO SZ61WN/C.
Sager NP2090
Chipset: Intel PM965 and ICH8-M
Sony VAIO SZ61WN/C
Chipset: Mobile Intel GM965 Express
Both models have quite new graphics cards (nvidia 8400M and 8600M).
My own desktop computer with [b]965[b] chipset works better with 0.3.4-6 and -5 than other livecd versions. Could you try this one, please?
I tried 3.4-6, none of the options worked, got the exact same result.
I tried all options on the 3.4-8 and 3.4-11 live cd's and nothing worked.
Sony Vaio
PCG-9Y3L
It also stopped at the same "io scheduler" lines.
Gentoo 2007.0 Minimal CD booted just fine though, so I might try to put gparted on a usb key and access it via Gentoo.
Another cause for boot failure is sometimes some plugged USB device, like keyboard or mouse.
Using a bootable USB key would be a solution. Another one is to use some of the various live cds that contain Gparted, like many Linux install CDs (Ubuntu, Fedora I think etc) and several rescue CDs.
The (former) livecd maintainer, LarryT recommended "sysresccd"
http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
The development team doesn't plan further livecd version. So, you could try this.
I tried an Ubuntu 7.10 cd using the first option after a few seconds my screen turned off, tried it again in the safe graphics mode and the same thing happened
the system restore cd worked for resizing my partition, now I'm trying to install Ubuntu but my screen turns off after a few seconds.
Obviously, it is something related to your graphics hardware.
In these cases, you can use the "alternate" Ubuntu install cd. It doesn't use graphics for the installation.
Alright I'll try that, should I mark this as solved? how do i do that?
