Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Severity: normal
-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
APT prefers testing
APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (33,
'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-woodswolf
Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
I try to load vesafb at the boot time by append="video=vesafb" and no
/dev/fd0 device is created. I try to compile vesafb in the kernel inside
and as the module ; it's don't work.
The same problem exist why the 2.6.11 version
Jul 11 21:39:22 wolf001 kernel: Inspecting
/boot/System.map-2.6.11-woodswolf
Jul 11 21:39:22 wolf001 kernel: Loaded 26625 symbols from
/boot/System.map-2.6.11-woodswolf.
Jul 11 21:39:22 wolf001 kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.6.11.
Jul 11 21:39:22 wolf001 kernel: No module symbols loaded - kernel
modules not enabled.
So I don't know why, but vesafb can't be load at the boot time.
When I look for why, I test different vga mode. The scan get me 7 modes
and only 2 works. For the others 5, I have a blank screen until the X
server come.

The 2.6.8 kernel is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report. Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny.
If this issue is still present, let me know.
Thanks.
