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).
