Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2004 13:37:36 +0100 Message-ID: <20040823123736.GA765@calypso> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org Return-Path: List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: parisc-linux-bounces@lists.parisc-linux.org Hi, I can't get the console to work on a 715/100. The console path is set to "graphics.9" which refers to the built-in hardware. There's an HCRX-24 card attached (graphics_1), but I don't have a monitor for that. PALO chooses sti=1, and 2.4 kernels work fine with sti=1. If I boot with sti=0, I last thing I see is the "If this is the last message you see, you may need to switch your console" message, which is expected since it's presumably using the HCRX card for output. If I boot a 2.6 kernel, I get the "If this is the last message you see" message regardless of what sti is set to. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I've searched the lists, but I haven't found anything yet except for references to a similar problem in 2.4 in 2001-2002. "cat /dev/fb0 > /dev/fb1" copies console text to the screen, so it seems that the framebuffer is working correctly, but the wrong device is being used for the console.
