Blank boot screen with kernel 2.6.12
Hello,
I am still running a custom 2.6.10 kernel on a Thinkpad T41p, but
obviously udev-0.068-2 forces me to update to 2.6.12. As the stock
kernel linux-image-2.6.12-1-386 does not support CPU freq scaling, I had
to compile my own kernel again (with the old config).
With the new kernel, however, the screen goes blank immediately after
GRUB exits, and I do not see anything on my screen until X starts. My
kernel options are as follows:
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12 root=/dev/hda7 ro vga=792 acpi_sleep=s3_bios
which still work fine with 2.6.10.
/var/log/syslog says nothing about radeonfb and/or vesafb which I find
quite alarming. Also, there is the line
localhost kernel: Boot video device is 0000:01:00.0
which has not been there before. What's going on here?
Thanks,
--
