I'm having trouble understanding why framebuffer and the disc subsystem are close enough in the kernel that enabling a framebuffer mode causes edd to fail. EDD was working on its own, and presumably framebuffer=791 works on its own? Why is the interaction between these two things causing new problems?

I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
