Have decided to hold off on testing the video modes just yet, is there a place where grub video modes are listed somewhere? Have to hold off as I have to reset CMOS everytime I remove the videocard. I should test it via the integrated graphics first but haven't had time tonight to do it. Before Friday's Galactica episode, for sure, though!

I'm running GRUB 1.96 if that helps at all.

When compiling kernels I use:
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=.date --revision=XX --initrd kernel_image

Thanks to everyone for their help so far!

Kind regards

I'll also attach my config at that time too, forgot to mention.

Thanks Len and Jaime,

I'll try disabling video output -- I strongly suspect it's an errant framebuffer in there somewhere. I can't see it being duff RAM, as the last time this happened to me on Linux was ... in my first year of using it. Will report later tonight when I get back from work.

Kind regards
Mass

I don't see anything there either.

Is X configured to start at boot? (gdm/xdm/kdm/wdm)

If so, turning it off while debuging might be good in case it is all X's
fault.
