my 10.04 server is not loading This appears to be a problem with hp model d530S in 10.04 I already changed the resolution in /etc/default/grub but still have the same problem.
In a post on ubuntu forums, I read this: It doesn't seem to take any notice if you use nofb or fb=false as a kernel argument and the terminal text scroll slowing down compiling a lot when running in a VirtualBox virtual machine. So I figured that using nofb or fb=false will not solve my problem. I think that the framebuffer is loading the wrong driver when I dmesg | vga, it says: [ 0.103600] vgaarb: loaded [ 13.341789] vga16fb: initializing [ 13.341799] vga16fb: mapped to 0xc00a0000 [ 13.341808] vga16fb: not registering due to another framebuffer present as far as I know, vgaarb is loading according to the ubuntu forum post I looked at, I need to blacklist something. The problem is that I'm not sure what to blacklist or how. I have an Idea about how to do that (adding an entry to the file /etc/dodprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf) but I am not entirely sure what I need to blacklist. can anyone tell me how to do that? here are the instructions I am referring to: I was able to disable the framebuffer by adding a blacklist entry for my particular vga driver into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf. Added "blacklist vga16fb" (without the quotes) to the end of the list of other framebuffer drivers already there. Worked like a charm, got the nice, fast, classic console back. the problem I am experiencing is described on the following website: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476927 do I just need to add a line at the end of that blacklist file which reads: "blacklist vgaarb" ....without the quotes? Thanks Paul
