Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-sparc64
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: important

When booting 2.6.17 on my ultra-10 with a creator3d (upa) graphics
card, no output is seen on the monitor past the "Booting Linux..."
message.  The system does boot and is usable via ssh.

This did not happen with the default 2.4 kernel under sarge, or after
upgrading to etch before installing a 2.6 kernel.

There is no usable output on the onboard mach64 vga output either.  My
19" vga monitor sees no signal, even with the creator card removed
from the system.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.

Thanks, closing the bug then.
