I am sitting in fornt of it - garbage comes up on the top few
lines of the screen,. The rest goes back. unresponsibve to
keyboard, or mouse. Cant ping it remotely. Power
button does nothing.

> Could you please try with syscons, instead of VT?

I havent tried that yet, but I can give that a go later - does
'GENERIC' still use syscons ? The commens imply it does, but I
thought it had changed over to using vt.

Ah, OK.
