Re: Blank Console

I'm having some trouble with my console. When I boot up, I get a grey
screen with some OpenFirmware stuff on it instead of the usual kernel
loading stuff. Eventually, I reach kdm. That works fine. But if I try
to quit kdm to start a console session, I end up either with either a
black or, lets say, very colorful, screen. What should I look into to
fix this?
Sounds like you built your kernel yourself, and the kernel doesn't have
a driver to talk to the framebuffer. What kind of machine (please be
specific, something like "PowerMac G4" or "iBook" isn't specific enough)
have you got? If it's not a system where the display is built into the
logic board/not replaceable, have you upgraded the video card, and if
so, what kind of video card do you have?
