[16:31] <dynamism> Hey guys, I'm installing 13.04 off a usb drive to an AMD A8 machine, outputting to a VGA monitor, and I get nothing but a blank screen after grub. It goes to non-graphical grub, and throwing nomodeset on the linux line doesn't appear to change anything.
[16:34] <dynamism> Here's my grub file: setparams 'Install Ubuntu' \ set gfxpayload=keep \ linux /casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity quiet splash nomodeset -- \ initrd /casper/initrd.lz
[16:35] <dynamism> The nomodeset option is what i added. The rest is default.
[16:37] <dynamism> Anyway, i've been trying for a couple of weeks to get this machine to boot, so this is someone's opportunity to be a superhero
