Where can I get more details on how the PI boots ?
Does the GPU get properly initialized right away ? can I see the kenel booting

After having failed I fiddled with the config.txt ... this is what it look like

hdmi_safe=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_mode=4

No nothing obscure needs to be done it should just work. I checked today at

Davide, I've also had problems installing Slackware on RPi.

Exclusively Slackware since Version 1.0, I guess I'm used to the

I just acquired a RasPi B and installed armedslack13.37, that's running
fine.. Searching the Web I see much dialogue but nothing, so far, for
armedslack. Can someone point me to a site
