Two sticks fail media verification and both give you fits with display resolution.

Edit /etc/default/grub, find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= and remove nomodeset, then 'sudo grub2-mkconfig -o <pathtogrub.cfg>' where path depends on whether you have BIOS or UEFI firmware (another weird thing we do differently)... -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
