Re: no konsole text with kernel 2.6.8

[Guy Roussin <guy.roussin@teledetection.fr>]

Hi,

Thank cga2001 and Ron,

I notice the blank screen (with vertical lines) occurs after the line :
"Calculating modules dependencies" during the boot process ...
I use vga=ask in lilo.conf but this change only affect the text mode before
the switch (blank screen) after "Calculating modules dependencies"
And yes, i get the file /boot/config-2.6.9-1-k7 from
kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7

Thanks.

Guy
