I've enabled vesafb and set same settings as Gentoo LiveCD:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 5
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.27-r8-b0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.27-gentoo-r8-b0 root=/dev/sda3 vga=791
# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep FB | grep -v '^#'
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
# dmesg | grep vesafb
vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xf8a80000, using 3072k, total
7616k
vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=3
vesafb: scrolling: redraw
vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0
But when system boots I see blank screen.
Any ideas?
# uname -rsm
Linux 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 i686
Thanks.
