Yes, I used everything as default as possible. I used 'genkernel' to build my kernel with the default configuration. I assumed that even though the kernel has framebuffer support built in, it won't use it if it is not configured as kernel parameter in grub.conf. Maybe that was a wrong assumption? I used to initially have "video=vesafb-tng:mtrr,ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the kernel parameters. However, I removed it when the boot process stalled after "vesafb: scrolling: redraw" So it looks like I could go two ways: - Configure the framebuffer properly in grub.conf. - Build a new kernel with framebuffer disabled. I would prefer the first option... > You might want to try building the kernel "by hand" instead. > > > -- > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > > Marcel Romijn -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
