[Cooker] 2.2.17 kernel not quite primetime?

[Randy Welch]

Snapped cooker yesterday to install on my ThinkPad A20p.  ( Try out the
new features KDE2, etc withought upsetting my main machine.  All went
really well, even more so than 7.1.  The only problem came after I had
installed and wanted to use the fb kernel so that X would work on the
machine.  The only problem was that as soon as the kernel booted the
screen would blank to never be seen again.

I finally grabbed the 2.2.16 kernels for the 7.1 distribution and those
worked correctly and I now have X running.  Something to look at for
those folks who need FB devices...
