Debian

Hey, I recently installed Debian on a desktop PC but when it starts I can't see anything (the monitor say no signal). I don't have any idea or even a way to figure out what going on here since I can't see anything at all not even the console. Is there something that I missed in the install, or is it a compatibility problem?
The desktop PC specs are:

Did you install X11/Gnome/KDE? If so, Debian sometimes detects the default resolution incorrectly. You can try to access the console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. If that doesn't work try starting in single user mode, and change /etc/inittab to boot to runlevel 3 by default, instead of runlevel 5.

More information about configuring X11 can be found here.

Do you see POST when you turn on your PC ?

Is x11 installed by the first CD? If not which CD do I need? And also yes solaris user, I do see POST when the PC turns on.

I'm not sure if X11 is installed from the first CD (been a while since I used anything but netinst), but I would guess so.

One thing you can try is reboot the machine, and when the GRUB menu comes up, press 'e'. That will let you edit the boot entry. Now move down to the kernel line, press 'e' again, and remove the 'quiet' option if present, and add 'single' at the end. Press ESC, then 'b' to boot. You should see all kinds of diagnostic messages from the kernel and end up on a console in single user mode. Then use your preferred editor to change inittab as described earlier.

I have accessed the terminal using "Ctrl+Alt+F1" I am not good with terminal so I used a ubuntu LiveCD to edit the /etc/inittab file. By default the file used runlevel 2, since you implied that the default runlevel is 5, I changed it to 5 but that didn't work so I changed it to 3 but I continue to have the problem. What now?

If you really want to make a kernel, well... It would be in your interests to learn.
