I've been ignoring this bum configuration I have in grub.conf to get
other things done on a newish install. But now need to get it right.
My reading of the install docs indicates I have the right stuff in
there. But on boot I get the grub command line.
All I really have to do is load a kernel and say boot:
kernel /kernel<tab>
boot
To get booted, but I get no frame buffer and have the default huge
type size.
Boot is a separate partition /dev/hda1
cat /boot/grub:
boot /dev/hda
default 0
timeout 05
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
Title=gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linux
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
I used the gentoo-2.6.9-gentoo-r4 kernel which is supposed to default
to vesa-tng on
I have these in .config:
CONFIG_FB=y,CONFIG_FB_VESA=y,CONFIG_FB_VESA_TNG=y
I just went with the defaults throughout.
Can anyone see what is wrong.. why I don't get a framebuffer and
smooth boot.
