Subject: How can I diagnose a startup failure on a live USB?
Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2017 15:03:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1504875804.3275.1.camel@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I am trying to run Guix SD from a live USB on two machines. On machine
A this works: I can select "linux-libre" from GRUB and the startup
process runs, ending with a prompt on TTY 1 and documentation on TTY 2.
On machine B, the startup process runs but towards the end (ssh-
keygen... ncsd...) the screen goes black and I can't switch between
TTYs.
How can I diagnose the cause of this problem? Even enough to report an
error message.
Regards,
David
