Hello !
I am thinking about switching from kernel 2.4.x to 2.6.x because of
the dvb-support. At the moment I am using a dvb-c-card with my beige
G3.
I was able to compile a 2.6 kernel and boot with it, but as soon as
the kernel starts my screen gets blank and I can not see any output
while it boots. The first thing I can see is when the X server starts
and shows me the gdm-login-screen.
When I try to switch to a virtual-text-terminal I get a yellow screen
and no login prompt.
Any hint what is wrong? Do I need some kind of kernel-arguments to
switch virtual-terminals on?
Certainly not, unless you're using strange video hardware. Sure you
compiled it in okay - I've noticed some strange defaults with various
branches of 2.5 and 2.6-test, but I thought these were sane in final
releases.
Could be a framebuffer issue too; make sure you've got the right
support compiled in.
