- While booting the machine I see the Tux-Logo, but no boot message. Instead, there is a small area on the left side below the logo, where colored dots are moving upwards. Between the logo and this area, there is a really small, blinking cursor. Output starts when the system configures the console, on first boot this means when the charset is set, on every following boot the first output I see is the login message itself. ----- Christian, I also have had similar symptoms with my setup - which is an 8500, also with a G3 upgrade card, and an ATI Mach 64-bit card. At first I thought I was missing compiled in fonts or something similar. But when I tried to play with the BootX options, I would get a distorted logo, and text that would be severely mangled and unreadable ... This is also with an upstream 2.6.12 kernel ... I have not be able to get any console activity at all, either with fbset or otherwise. 2.4 works fine, as does X. But the boot text is "mildly" troubling ;-) Might just be some weird combo of Old World Macs, ATI cards and the G3 upgrades ... cheers vinai
