Same problem as Rich reported. Old kernel was using the regular text console. System now boots with fbcon. It dies sometime after the network configuration with the endless scrolling rivafb_pan_display messages.
It's been my experience that fbcon is slow and unreliable, and I don't think it should be the default. I'd at least like an option to /completely/ disable it - I don't want it loading any modules at all. Burning a netinst CD so I can get my system bootable again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
