Re: No text on console
I'm having a similar problem, I installed 2.6.8.1 and now when i switch
to a virtual console, i get a black screen but when i hit enter, the top
lines of my bootup appear, and after a while randomly colored blocks. I
really have no idea what it could be.

I've got an interesting problem - after recompiling my kernel, I now don't
have any text on my console. I still have a cursor, but no text is
actually printed after lilo starts the kernel booting. No text on any of
my virtual consoles, either. Everything is fine and dandy on 2.6.6, but
2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1 both break.
Also, buttons 6 & 7(the forward/back buttons on the side) on my
Intellimouse Explorer don't work anymore either, but don't know if it's
related.
Has anyone run across this before? Google hasn't told me so, if anyone has.
dmesg output and kernel .config(s) will be posted if anyone wants to
peruse for oddities I'm not knowledgeable enough to catch. Console
framebuffer *is* turned on...
