Ah, yes. You're right. If I tell it 8-bit, then it gets past that, and
gets signal 4 later, after setting up the mouse. Oh well. Config and
log at the same place as last time. But yes, the ELF loader might just
be working... :-)
Next question: why can't I have 16-bit? fbset -depth 16 gives me the
same error. But I have 2 MB VRAM (standard Netwinder), and at 1024x768,
16-bit should use just 1.5 MB, right? I've had 16-bit success with
previous 2.4.x kernels, but can't get 2.4.5 to do it.
Here's what fbset -i has to say:
