In my .config file (sent in a previous message) I already have CONFIG_FB_IMAC=y And I boot the kernel using "video=imacfb:i20" from elilo.conf. Has this command line argument changed in 2.6.18? I reused my working .config for 2.6.17 for EFI and converted it to 2.6.18. Does anybody have a positive experience with linux 2.6.18 booted from EFI instead of BIOS?
