Oh, my bad. So I assumed that you also checked the kernel logs then. Are |
| 6 |
you sure there's no kernel trouble _very early_ in the boot process? |

I don't know about the Dell model you have, is it a laptop? Some |
| 9 |
motherboard BIOS/ACPI are known to have a bug where they mis-report |
| 10 |
the lid status of the laptop, and so on boot the computer "thinks" the |
| 11 |
lid is closed and turns off the screen. Though the kernel would |
| 12 |
usually complain about not finding an active screen attached to the |
| 13 |
video card or something like that. |
