Black screen after boot.

Hello, i'm fairly new to Slitaz, and I can't get it to work on my laptop (Slitaz 4.0)

I boot the livecd in Virtualbox on Win 7, and from there I install Slitaz with TazUSB following the way described here: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb

When I reboot my laptop from USB, I get a normal bootscreen, but the autoboot doesn't work and it always resets. I also can't enter the options etc, but what I can do is boot "core live", everything boots ok I guess: I can select my language & keyboard layout, but after that I get a black screen with a blinking white console-like stripe on the top left corner. Typing does nothing, but pressing enter & some other buttons causes some noise to appear...

I also tried installing Slitaz with UNetbootin, and then I get an error while booting.

Does someone know how to deal with this? Thanks in advance.

Re: Black screen after boot.

Yes, I had the same issue. Problem is in your VGA. Solution is here:

Find and install SliTaz-4.0-RC2-Xvesa.iso
