See: > > https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Framebuffer#DRM_framebuffer_drivers It could well be more than 15-20 years since I had VESA FB enabled and not once since then, without any detriment to a console coming up at boot. Try switching to [*] the following: # CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM is not set # CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is not set Then hopefully you'll get a console kicking in. Also, unless you use an initrd don't forget any firmware blobs which may be be needed by your graphics card and while you're at it add your CPU microcode there too. Currently you only show the firmware for your wireless: # Firmware loader # CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode" Then, if you still fail to get a console, connect over ssh to check what dmesg reports for any hints of missing drivers.

I got linux-6.1.57-gentoo kernel built and working, but linux-6.6.13-gentoo still comes up with no console. Here's my latest .config attempt for 6.6.13 attached. Any ideas? -- Roses are red Roses are blue Depending on their velocity Relative to you config.gz Description: application/gzip

[gentoo-user] Upgrade old laptop kernel 5.15.69 ==> 6.6.13; no console
As per the subject line, I upgraded kernel 5.15.69 ==> 6.6.13. No console on bootup, but I can ssh in. Fortunately I make it a habit to keep the previous kernel around, so I can fall back to it. But I'd like to get the latest kernel working. This is an old BIOS-boot Lenovo. File-attached is the diff between the .config files from 5.15.69 to 6.6.13 kernels. In "vim" or "less" go "/2191a2330,2331" and you'll get to the beginning of the video stuff. Any ideas? -- Roses are red Roses are blue Depending on their velocity Relative to you
