hi !
i tried vanilla 2.6.0test9 (default config) kernel on my md8008xl PC (see specs at
http://www.pcwelt.de/tests/hardware-tests/pc_notebook/29981/) today and while booting i see absolutely NOTHING until XFree86 starts.
the screen gets black directly at kernel initialisation. i cannot switch to a console from XFree86.
i found that this is because my suse9 has "vga=0x317" enabled by default (in grub bootconfig). this seems to work fine with the old
2.4 kernel, but doesnt seem to work with 2.6.0test9
the pc i mention is very popular in germany and has been sold many thousand times, so i think it could be important to inform you
about this issue. (maybe it`s even more general, ond not directly related to this PC/Videocard)
let me know if i can help fixing the problem. (sorry - i`m no kernel hacker but i could help by doing some test etc..)
regards
roland
