Hello, I have a Dell R710 and am having issues with the installation. My installation goes as follows:
  1. Boot to USB (or CD)
  2. Select Install
  3. General Debug text comes up
  4. Screen goes blank and monitor does not detect input (but knows its connected).

I tried switching the install flag quiet splash = silent to nomodeset, then installing.

When the system tries to set up the GUI installation menu it fails and aborts.

I checked the log file
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

The key Error I saw listed were
  • Failed to load module "mga" (module does not exist, 0)
  • open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
  • Unable to find a valid framebuffer device
  • Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section
  • Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices
If someone has any pointers or recommendations of next steps that would be helpful
Thank you!
