WaldMeister Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi, Boot with -v. You should get a lot of text output, when it stops scrolling, take a picture. You can either attach the image to your post, or insert a direct url to the image.

WaldMeister Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Seen the other thread, i suppose you are booting using the Chameleon/chimera bootloader. When the bootloader pops up, on the OS selection screen, just type -v and press enter, you should get the diagnostic information.
