Now I decided to upgrade to 2.6.9, I did it as always: make oldconfig and so on... But when I restart, the screen blanks, I tried it with vga=ask, but it didn't work with the 3xx modes, the normal modes work, but as I work a lot with the console I need a 'nice' one, like mode 314. I compared the bootlogs in /var/log/kern.log and found that with the 2.6.7 kernel there were some lines with 'vesafb: ...' and after that there was a line : 'Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 100x37'. But with the 2.6.9 kernel these lines don't appear. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click
