Re: EtherNAT Driver
With kernel 2.2 it boots in 320x200xtruecolor, kernel params don't
affect much at all.
With kernel 2.4 it boots in 320x200xtruecolor but displays pretty colors
and no legible text whatsoever.
attempting to start in any other mode results in a crash or a reboot.
I tried adding atafb=sthigh, removing video=keep, etc. I also tried the
kernel from Didier Mequignon's site which is kind of designed for CT60
even.
If anyone wants to send me known good cmdline and kernel for ct60,
please do.
Thanks,
Mark
