I can not make intelfb run on intel board D945GSEJT. I've tried a very clean setup, here's what I've done: > Install a minimal debian squeeze (stable) $ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.37.tar.bz2 $ tar -xf linux-2.6.37.tar.bz2 $ cd linux-2-6-37 $ make defconfig > using "make menuconfig", I enabled "Configure standard features", disabled "i915", enabled as module "intelfb" with "intelfb_debug" $ make $ make modules_install $ update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.37 $ make install $ update-grub When rebooting, the machine crashes in the init sequence by performing a reboot, over and over again. Starting the old kernel, I did: $ echo "blacklist intelfb" >>/etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf Now, the machine boots to a working text mode. $ modprobe intelfb idonly FATAL: Error inserting intelfb (/path/to/module/intelfb.ko): No such device The commands $ modprobe intelfb probeonly and $ modprobe intelfb noregister execute without error, the module is loaded The commands $ modprobe intelfb noinit and $ modprobe intelfb lead to a crash by instant reboot. Have I done something wrong, or is the 2.6.37 intelfb module broken? Greets, Kiste
