Could you see if this problem still exists in 2.6.14-3? As of 2.6.14 VESA_FB is no longer modular, however this turned out to mean that FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE needed to be manually loaded on systems that were previously using vga=... This can be fixed by telling the initrd generator to load FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE on boot, however as of -3 it is built into the kernel to avoid this problem. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
