I posted about this on the Gentoo forums (see [1]) but didn't get any response so I'll try my luck here! The post explains everything but. briefly, normally when I boot a kernel I initially get some messages in a large clunky font, and then the frame-buffer module loads and everything is hi-res and fills the entire monitor. On my new box the first messages are video-static until the frame-buffer takes over. I have an error in a new root partition I have built and need to read those messages! What of all the numerous parameters in various places should I try tweaking?
