This fixed the problem for me (300Mhz,6GB iBook). Though, admittedly, I don't see any reason in this. Christof PS: 433Mhz - I should have waited buying one ... PPS: if I guessed wrong, here's the relevant part of my .config: CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FB_ATY=y CONFIG_FB_OF=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY=y CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16=y # CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
