Editing Troubleshooting (section)

== The kernel seems to load (green bar on Gumboot), but then the screen stays on garbled colors, fully black, or black screen with the loader text!  What's wrong? ==
This could be tons of things.
* '''If you're getting the garbled colors''', it means the kernel failed to initialize very early on, before initializing the [[AVE-RVL]].
* '''If you're getting a fully black screen without even the loader text at the top''', that means that it failed after initializing the AVE-RVL, gcnfb, but before displaying the loader text.
* '''If you're getting a black screen with the loader text at the top left''', it means the kernel has initialized a decent bit, but something isn't working.  Try setting the kernel arguments (see the previous answer, right above this), replace the loglevel=x parameter with loglevel=7 to get full kernel logs on the screen, or check a USB gecko.
For all of these, having a [[USB Gecko]] would be very beneficial.
