I can use again „vga=791“ as kernel parameter, I do not suffer any keyboard errors anymore at boot prompt, and the kernel boots very quickly. Fantastic! BUT: This is a „Pentium-4-only“ solution. On my file server, which is a Pentium 3 machine, the kernel stops booting and hangs the machine, no matter if I use framebuffer console with „vga=791“ or not. Would you please try to find a fix for every architecture at any speed? Regards Uwe -- "Feel free" – 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ... Jetzt GMX TopMail testen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail
