Hi,

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.
This happens if you compile your framebuffer driver as module. You
can also load them via initrd.
Try to load vesafb for example. (modprobe vesafb) Maybe you will get
your console back.
