Did it work for you with previous potato testcyle versions?
Did you try StartInstall_cv64? amigfb is for use with the native grafics,
cyber is for the CV64 card. Not sure how good the driver is in the 2.2.10
kernel, but I think I heard somebody was using it with more or less success.
If it doesnt work out for you, you might have to use the 2.0.36 kernel,
which AFAIK has better support for the CV64.
No idea about the scandoubler, internal, external, on (cv64) board? Can it
display all native (amifb) screens?
Can you send us a log, dmesg should be on the CDs now.
