Sid, problems with 2.6.14
Hi, yall. I pulled down 2.6.14 yesterday with the usual topping off of the tank, as it were, and tried it out today. LILO puts up the usual .. for loading, then bam, black screen. There's some disk access for about 10 seconds, then nothing and the CPU fan starts spinning up like it's utilizing 100%. I do have the Knoppix sourced vga=791 for a decent console screen, but that's worked since kernel 2.2.x. Is anyone else having difficulties with 2.6.14? I revert to 2.6.12 and everything runs just fine.

Re: Sid, problems with 2.6.14
That happened to me too (black screen) and also no sound (lots of messages of the form snd_: Unknown symbol snd_ in the logs). So, downgraded to my previous kernel by now...

I do have the Knoppix sourced vga=791 for a decent console screen, but that's worked since kernel 2.2.x. Try removing that command for a single boot to see whether it is the problem. If so, set the following kernel option to to y instead of m # Device drivers/Graphics support/Console display driver support/Framebuffer Console Support This is a common change when using vanilla kernels and vga=blah. This is not with a vanilla kernel, but with 2.6.14-1 from sid Cheers Adam

If you want to see what's going on, you'll need to edit the yaird config file to include the fbcon module, then rebuild your image. The easiest way to rebuild the image is to reinstall the package.
