Stuck on cursor and black screen - New Installation

1st Official Post

    I'm trying to install LibreELEC on my old notebook, but I'm having difficulties.

    I performed the installation and when I rebooted, the splash screen appeared, the version of LibreELEC and then only a black screen with the cursor blinking every 10 seconds.

    1 - I'm not able to SSH.

    2- I wrote the image using the official tool

    3 - I tried to reinstall 3 times and downloaded 3 different versions (8.2.4, 8.2.3 and 8.0.2)

    It's a very old computer, in fact. But I need to know if it will actually run or not.

    I do not want to simply discard the computer, but rather give it a feature by using LibreELEC.

    That's a pretty prehistoric video card... Add to that the fact that AMD support has always had its ups and mostly downs, I'm not surprized another AMD gpu doesn't seem to respond. LibreELEC, i.e. Linux kernel support only goes so far.

    Also: try one of the latest Milhouse builds. Who knows what kind of bunny pops out of the big hat.
