[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

[DiagonalArg]

Same problem installing 12.04 as RAID -> LUKS -> LVM on a Tyan S2865
with an nVidea  GF-7900GT video card.

I did as suggested in #28 and the disk decryption/password screen/box
appeared.  I was able to mount disks and log in.  I installed the
proprietary drivers, and on next boot I went right to the password
screen, but there was no password box, just a text input line, and the
font was large with the text overwriting itself.  I then did as in #24,
copying the fonts to /boot/grub, but on next boot my LCD kept saying
"Out of Range" and I couldn't find any way to log in.  (^Alt-Fn didn't
work, ^Alt-Del forced reboot.)
