Re: Boot with a good tty screen
Hello Roberto,
you need to compile your new kernel with suport for FrameBuffer, I have the
same SUN5 and it works for me:
CONFIG_PROM_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_PCI=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY_CT=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y
CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16=y
hope it helps you!
