Black screen after fresh installation.

Hi,

First of all: I am a TOTAL newbie to linux. I have messed around with it for a week. But thats mostly following installation guides step-by-step.
It all started when i bought and MSI Cubi N Jsl 002 with 128gb ssd, 4gb of ram. I want it setup as a media server for a Kodi running on a Raspberry Pi hooked to my TV (which is coming soon)
I've followed the installation guide in the documentation using a usb stick. After installation was done I rebooted as requersted and it just gave a black screen. It showed the MSI logo first, then nothing. Has been sitting there for 5 min now.

I tried googling it but to no success. My inexperience with linux doesn't help either i take it
I tried to acces it via IP and that connection just times out (Cubi uses wifi, my other desktops use ethernet connection.

Anyone got an idea on what the problem is and is willing (and has the patience) to help me out step-by-step?

So its stuck on the bios screen?

No idea, it is just black with nothing else. No cursor or terminal looking thing. Also nothing to see when using kb or mouse

Have you installed OMV on a USB thumb drive or an other drive

I installed it on the 128gb internal drive if memory serves right

Quote from BlueCoffee

In bios did you select the 128gb to boot first?

I just set 128gb drive to boot option 1, reboooted. same issue
Before installing OMV It ran ubuntu no problem and that was with the drive being option 6

reinstall mate something is not right

I did that on my own just before this (I forgot to click reply on my msg (#7) so was waiting for an answer that was never gonna happen LOL) and it has the same issue

So after bios you have a black screen with nothing? did the setup work okay?

Yup, after bios it is just black. Setup went okay. no errors i could see

Quote from BlueCoffee

do you see the bios screen than the black screen? where did you get the ISO from?

imma be honest and I don't know what the Bios screen should look like? I see the MSI logo (brand of the micro pc) and then nothing.

I got the ISO from https://www.openmediavault.org/download.html

What kind of display are you using?

Do you see the grub menu (typically after the logo screen) ?

I'm wondering if your resolution isn't out of range, causing the screen to go blank. This should still allow OMV to boot however.

This used to happen to me a lot in my old server

No menu whatsoever. Just a black screen.

OK,.

So just for grins, turn the server on for a moment. and give it, i dunno, 30-60sec, to make sure it's completely booted up.

Assuming you just took the defaults during install in your network setup.. your hostname should be openmediavault and your port shiould be 80

In a browser (make sure it's connected to the same network as your OMV server), go to http://openmediavault.local

And see if you get the OMV login screen

Did this after a reinstall (to make sure i Didn't change anything) and i get a "server not found"

Do you get an IP address from OMV?

I don't get what you mean by this?
