Re: Blank boot screen with kernel 2.6.12

[Marco Laverdière <marco.laverdiere@sympatico.ca>]

Hi to all,

Just to let you know the simple solution I've found to make vesa work with 
custom 2.6.12 kernel (see this thread: for more details:  
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24534.html)

It seems that the vesafb support should be compliled in as a module and be 
loaded manually into the initrd image. Make sure that the following two lines 
are in '/etc/mkinitrd/modules' before running 'fakeroot make-kpkg 
--initrd ...':
 
 vesafb
 fbcon


Hope this help.
