Re: Blank boot screen with kernel 2.6.12



Make sure to run make oldconfig before building.

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,
