What option are you booting with?

When does the error occur, after you root:toor?

[7ELEVEN]

i boot with the first option on the list. the error happens after i login as root

[dunnn]

try type : xorgconfig after log in (root / toor)
and then following set up .
Run startx at the end.

Did you have any luck booting this media at all?
Did you check the md5sum ?
Have you tried another computer?
Have you tried to re-master the media?
Were you able to get a command prompt?

[7ELEVEN]

ok so i got it to work....


i re-burned the bt3 cd on a different pc using a different typ of cd-r and it loads right up...


umm how come bt3 doesnt ask me to login? you know like

login:root
password:toor

Ok, don't know if this will really help you guys but I got past this same error on my friends Averatec 3200 by doing the following:

Once you login type:

cd /etc/X11
nano xorg.conf

Then scroll down to the Section "Monitor" replace the entire section to make it look like this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 15-25, 30-50
VertRefresh 40-90
EndSection

Save the changes then run startx. Let me know if this helps you guys, and sorry about the crudeness of my post, pretty much a first timer. Any advice or criticism is greatly appreciated.

No offense but by putting the same info that you have for your monitor on other monitors could cause them to malfunction. And even break. Now most newer monitors have "self protection" mechanisms built in and won't allow this to happen but some do not.
The sync ranges are different for different monitors and each user should find this information through documentation and or the internet in order to avoid damage to their stuff.
For more info on getting a xorgconfig file setup I have done a tutorial one could have a look at it here.
It may be of some help.
