RE: [gentoo-user] Boot logo

2003-11-11 Thread Matthew Coulson
I have a similar but different question :) How can I *disable* the boot logo but still maintain framebuffer startup? I have a problem at the moment (actually not right at this point as the machine is in bits, but prior to yesterday I had it), whereby: A) framebuffer would start, in 16bit depth,

The fan headers you don't have anything connected to, so don't worry about them. The VCore 2 I assume your machine does not use (do you have a P4 by any chance?). The -12v and -5v lines being way off probably means your PSU isn't supplying them, or is doing an extremely bad job of it. There is v
