Hi group, Compiling my own kernel I ran into strange difficulties. I have a laptop (asus L5800C) that's hit by the radeon driver bug resulting in black screens with standard drivers, though I don't know if this is related...
Installing kernel-image-2.4.22 I can boot with vga=834 resulting in a nice 1400x1050 framebuffer display with the vesa driver. However, compiling a fresh kernel from kernel-source-2.4.22 (even with the same config) results in a black screen. I can use vga=normal, so I know it works. I took the time to compile from the sources of kernel-image-2.4.22 which builds all kinds of kernels and took a _long_ time. However, that one boots fine. So, there must be some differences, right? I know that the sources of kernel-image are patched during the build process while the sources from kernel-source are already patched, but that should result in the same sources being used. Please enlighten me... TIA, David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus. Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
