Blank console text with kernel 2.6.8 and 2.6.9

["Guy Roussin" <guyr@tele2.fr>]

Hi,

I want to upgrade my debian SID/kernel 2.4 to kernel 2.6.
If i use kernel-image-2.6.x : no problem, but,
if i build my own kernel (from debian source), i loose
konsoles text (Alt F1 - F6) !
During the boot process, just after the line
"Calculating modules dependencies ...", the screen becomes
blank with vertical lines (unreadable) ?

No problem with Xfree. But konsoles (Alt F1-F6) stays unreadables.


My config : MB K7S5A (SiS 735)/ Duron 1300 / Matrox MGA G400 AGP
I try to play with vga=xxx in lilo.conf but without success.


This is what i do :

# apt-get update
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7
No problem here if i reboot i get konsoles

# apt-get update
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.8
# cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8
# make menuconfig
  -> load /boot/config-2.6.8-1-k7
  -> save
# make-kpkg --append_to_version -1-gr --initrd --revision GR.1.0  
kernel-image
# cd ..
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.8-1-gr_GR.1.0_i386.deb
# reboot
With this new kernel i loose konsoles ... (note: idem with 2.6.9)


Thanks
