New install of LinuxCNC 2.7-wheezy.ISO not working

I did as you said and installed it again. I am getting a little different result. After the GRUB comes up and I select the operation I want it prints out error codes instead of blank screen.
This is the error code.
[.979574] kernel panic-not syncing : exit code = 0x00000007

I will try your ismod to find the drivers but I now think there is more than just driver problems.

Have you tried the fallback mode of the kernel under grub menu advance options?

Might let you get into it.

Did you check you bios settings and disable all power saving stuff, ect?

when you get to the boot menu select "e" for edit and in the line linux/boot/.....put ( nomodeset ) in the kernel line , that should get you going on the blank screen.
to make it permanent, once you are up, go to you file system , go to folder BOOT and look for grub config file .
open as admin and edit the kernel line , add- (nomodeset), save and you should be good to go.

I tried the edit the boot but there isn't a line like " Linux/boot/". I turned off the power settings in the Bios and reloaded the program. it did make less errors when the program is run.
What it is doing now is when you are in the grub and click on the program button it runs through the grub and prints out on the screen "Loading initial ramdisk". It then prints out "couldn't read the file" and goes into error modes.
This is better than before but a long way from installed correctly.

Before we go "hip deep" into this troubleshooting - do you have another hard drive to replace this one with? Lets eliminate this as a issue. Also in the bios do you have a setting for raid - sata ect? Could you take a picture of the bios screen of this setting and post it. Also the sata setting page.

I've been researching the chipset "ATI All-In-Wonder 9600", this is a tv tuner card. It should work with wheezy it uses the driver "radeonfb". The "driver" is part of the wheezy distribution. You do not need to install it.

Read this posting here: it has some relevant information.

For troubleshooting purposes I would suggest;

Check bios for onboard graphics setting; if you have onboard graphics -remove the Radeon card
Check bios for sata settings or raid settings disable raid settings if found.
Swapping the HDD for another to test, ensuring its not a hdd pending failure.

Since you can boot into the live cd that would suggest the video card is ok, however during install Linux must detect and set a proper configuration. Hence the removal of the card to eliminate it for now.

Here is how to enter the nomodset to grub:

Let me know how things go!

Thanks for this information. I tried something else and I think I'm almost there.
I loaded the iso file onto a bootable USB and installed it again.
The software now comes to a box on the screen asking for a password. I put in the password I installed on the system but it does not except it. I tried many times.
The box has two selections for passwords.
Default x session
xfce Session
That is how they are spelled. Is there a special password to enter the program for the first time?
