trying 2.6.8.1

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi!

After trying 2.6.0 last October and getting nowhere, I
decided to try 2.6.8.1 + patch found here:
http://www.saring.de/derdani/ruby/patch-2.6.8.1-ruby.bz2

I have:
PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2
Model 64/Model 64 Pro]
and:
PCI:*(0:11:0) nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440
AGP 8x]

Compiled the kernel on Debian Sarge with:

<snip>
#
# Graphics support
#
CONFIG_FB=y
...
CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
# CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set
CONFIG_FB_RIVA=y
CONFIG_FB_RIVA_I2C=y
...

#
# Console display driver support
#
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FONTS=y
...
CONFIG_FONT_SUN12x22=y

#
# Logo configuration
#
CONFIG_LOGO=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_MONO=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_VGA16=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224=y
<snip>

and booted with:
append=" hdc=ide-scsi apm=on video=vesa:font:SUN12x22"
vga=794
 
and also with just:
vga=794

Both times just got a blank screen.
Am I dead with those nVidia cards? Or am I doing the
kernel wrong?

Thanks!

Hugo.
