Re: Framebuffer and Kernel issues
Guys, I figured it out! Finally! Sheesh what a PITA. Anyway, for some
reason you can't load the modules:
cfbcopyarea
cfbfillrect
cfbimgblt
font
fbcon
after your already booted and get frame buffers working. I even tried
adding these bad boys to the /etc/modules so that they load on startup.
Still didn't work. So I added them to the /etc/mkinitrd/modules list and
remade my initrd. When I rebooted it worked like a charm! YAY! So if you
ever get the "Error -6" it means that you need to load that vesafb in your
initrd. Weird, I know but it works now. That was the key!
Later,
-Greg
