Re: 2.6.5 blank console display

Re: 2.6.5 blank console display

[Andy Lutomirski]

I might have the same problem.  I switched from 2.6.5-rc1 (I think) to 2.6.5 and 
lost my console.  Unfortunately I don't have the old config handy, but I'm 
pretty sure I had the framebuffer console off.  The only was I got my console 
back was to enable fbcon.  This is on x86_64 with a generic 32MB SiS card.

Any useful information I could send?

2.6.5 blank console display

Greetings,

I have upgraded to 2.6.5 from 2.6.4 after which I have no console display.  I 
have used my 2.6.4 .config (which worked fine) to configure 2.6.5.  I have 
all the usual settings compiled into the kernel for virtual terminals and 
such to work.  Is there any options at all that I might somehow be missing?  
Are there any new options I need that were introduced in 2.6.5?  I really 
want to get this sorted out.

Thank you all for your time and help.

Regards,
Jason Harrison
