Black screen after initialization

[stevewalsh]

I was having the same problem - everything looked nice until it finished booting, then a black screen....

I added this line to my config.txt file in the /boot partition and after rebooting, I could see everything as I should (the bootup logo's are now massive but I can live with that)...

hdmi_safe=1

I just added the extra line at the bottom.

(fortunately the boot partition is visible in Windows so if you don't like SSH / vi etc... you can plug the SD card into a suitable card slot/adapter and add the line using notepad etc... )

I hope this helps,

Steve
