VL64-7.2 a03.3

Issue #81 resolved
Caitlyn Martin created an issue

The installer on the 64-bit version wouldn't run on my system. I get adding X-files followed by a number multiple times and then it drops me to a command prompt. The system is then locked up hard.

I wonder if this is because of my legacy nVidia GeForce 6150 SE chipset. That's a problem on a lot of new distro releases. On Debian 8.1 it works, but only with a legacy version of the proprietary nVidia driver. In their case I can drop to the text based install and then install the needed driver. My understanding is the text based installer no longer works on VL. It would be nice if it did.

An earlier error is:

FATAL: Module pcnet32 not found

    You appear to have 2 separate issues here. One of them the obvious video problem and one with a networking module.

    I triggered build A0.3.4 yesterday. Try that and see if it does any better.

    And fyi, the text installer works very well in VL. If your system cannot use the gui, it should drop you back to text and let you install. After installation you should be able to work on your video drivers.

    Try that new buid and let us know how that does
