RE: OpenFirmware framebuffer

["Matt Sealey" <matt@genesi-usa.com>]

Gentoo 2.6.15-r5 from the 2006.0 install CD.

It says "Welcome to Linux gentoo-2.6.15-r5" and then I see four
lines, MSR, HID0 and hex printout of each.

That's it.

I get the usual messages spooled to the serial console. My args are;

boot cd /boot/pegasos console=ttyS1,115200,8n1 console=tty0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs udev nodevfs cdroot
root=/dev/ram0 video=ofonly
