One thing I've noticed is that the consoles *do* work in 2.2.19 (though with no acceleration and no X because it's through OF), but I can't even get that far with 2.4.9-benh0 -- it either drops into xmon (with the Voodoo3 fbdev driver in) or stops updating the sccreen after the initial welcome screen and boots anyway. Is there a way to at least get the consoles working without X, like in 2.2.19? -lee
