hello, here's something weird i ran into after upgrading my kernel from 2.6.18-r6 to 2.6.19-r5. now if i compile the kernel with framebuffer enabled with vesafb-tng support and set the resolution to anything other than [EMAIL PROTECTED] in grub, i get this error upon booting.
"Block device /dev/sdb3 is not a valid root device." it then proceeds to ask me to specify the device to boot (or type "shell" for shell). now at this point if i specify /dev/sdb3 (where my root partition is -- btw, the new kernel also seems to have switched what's assigned to sda and sdb) then it continues to boot fine. so it's definitely detecting sdb3 fine. it seems to be somehow (however indirectly) associated with enabling framebuffer in the kernel. if i don't enable it or if i set the resolution to 640x480 with 16-bit colors, it boots without a hitch. does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? i have radeon x300 card if that helps. somewhat unrelated, i've also noticed with the new kernel, when i run glxgears it's giving me low fps score. but when i try fgl_glxgears it looks fine. and also everything else looks fine. fglrxinfo gives me the right info and glxinfo says "direct rendering : yes". just curious as to why glxgears would give me a vastly different result than before. thanks in advance, il. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
