Bug#282234: kernel-source-2.6.9: VesaFB doesn't work if compiled in statically
Package: kernel-source-2.6.9
Version: 2.6.9-1
Severity: important
This is probably related to bug #279648. There are some reports in there
that sound like they are actually this bug.
VesaFB doesn't work (blank screen) if compiled in statically in
version 2.6.9. The same configuration worked with kernel-source-2.6.8.
If I compile VesaFB as a module and load it via /etc/modules (I don't
use initrd) the display works after the module has been loaded. Is there
any more info you need about my kernel or lilo configuration?
