LL4 - boot failure following switch from Intel to nVidia card (390 driver)
#4

Thanks kpanic for your reply.
Yes it's an nVidia problem not an OS one, as emphasized in post #1.

I checked the LL Help Manual, but found no "warning" about the nVidia 390 driver under the Graphics Drivers section. 
Maybe I was looking in the wrong section. The only reference I could find on this forum, regarding such a warning, was English Bob's tutorial, discussed above.
When Jerry replied to EB's tutorial, he didn't highlight EB's take-home message about the nVidia driver - this issue
was just one of several points that EB addressed.

I'm surprised that I seem to be the only one reporting this problem, as there must be several LL users out there
with an nVidia Optimus PC - maybe all those concerned just followed EB's tutorial (?) but the caveat was that
that I found switching back to the Intel card problematic, as I highlighted in EB's thread.

Maybe I should have posted this message in the 'Discussion' section rather than in the 'Help' section ...
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
