Salix64-xfce-14.1 crashing
Posted: 31. May 2014, 15:24
I have installed a Salix64-xfce 14.0 system on a new Gibabyte GA-H81M-D2V board with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz .
Because I had installed at first Windows 7 I had some trouble to get Grub working correctly on a GPT partitioned disk but except the sound everything seemed ok.
But after upgrading to 14.1 the system refused to boot, after the first messages the screen got black. The harddisk worked on, but there was no keyboard contact possible.
After burning a 14.1 DVD-iso downloaded from sourceforge I tried once again a fresh installation but I got again just the installation screen with the boot offer. After pressing Enter only some lines appeared and then the screen turned black. No ncurses dialog to see.
I will attach a dmesg excerpt from a 14.0 boot because I think the hda_intel driver is the culprit, at least for the sound issue:

Lowlevel timeout problems?
