Re: 2.4 Kernel Lockup

[Catalin <catalin@mmc.ro>]

I also have a problem: During booting my screen goes black but after I
login and start X (with a black screen) X works perfectly but if I get out
from X again (in console mode) again I can't see anything (sometimes I can
see a blue or a green screen).
I think is has something to do with the frame buffer options from the
kernel (my previos kernel 2.2.17 worked perfectly with similar
configurations).
I KNOW this is NOT a kernel bug and only a misconfiguration and it is my
fault for this error and I am really sorry if this is not a proper list
for such a question (I just joined this list) but if someone can help me
please do.
I have my kernel configuration list but I can't send it on this list
because is too big (it has 19 kb) but if someone wants to help me I can
send it to his private e-mail address.
Thank you,
Adrian

PS: I have an "vga=791" option in my kernel so my console should be in
1024x768 resolution.
PS(2): I tried using the "voodoo 3" option from the frame buffer menu (I
have a voodoo 3 3000) but then instead of having a black screen I have a
black screen with blue dots that move around (they look like mangnified
distorsioned chars).
