[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

[DiagonalArg]

A year later and I'm still facing this issue, now on 12.04.2.

This time I installed LUKS on top of RAID on a Tyan-S3970.  A Ctl-
Alt-F1, Ctl-Alt-F7 got me to a text box, but updating, followed by
installing the proprietary nvidia drivers, turned that into a text mode
input.  I used #24 and I now have a text box again, but it looks all
blurry and doesn't fit the screen.

Anyway, it took a dozen tries to get this far, so I'm leaving it!

I'm going to try it again on that Tyan-S2865 and see if I can get it to
work this time.
