I believe most of the input and points made help to solve the original question. I also believe that once I get back this current problem that I will be able to have a myth box up and running at this point.<br>
<br>Problem is, I had a PVR-500 card installed on the system.<br>I also have an nvidia 220GT card in the same system.<br>The kernel is PAE and everything is fully updated.<br><br>The nvidia driver seemed to load fine as I did see the logo when rebooting and of course X came up.<br>
I wanted to quickly test to see if a card I thought was bad might be ok so I shut the system down, replaced the PVR-500 with an HVR-1600 and rebooted the system so I could take a look at lspci and dmesg.<br><br>Upon reboot, I noticed the nvidia driver was no longer popping up and worse, X is no longer coming up either. The front end isn't coming up and I'm of course having an x11vnc problem since it cannot find a display.<br>
<br>Someone suggested needing to put an option in grub.conf but from what I can tell, that's not the problem. What ever the problem is, it's something to do with a driver that's loading and preventing X from loading.<br>
It seems to me that the system has detected the new card but drivers for the old card are loading which is somehow messing up X.<br><br>Any thoughts on this sort of problem?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>

<div>Please try/check two things:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Make sure you have nouveau blacklisted and you are not using modesetting. Add "rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset" to your kernel parameters.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Add vmalloc=XXXm to your kernel parameters, i.e. "vmalloc=256M". I believe you want it to be at least 192M if not more.</div>
