Hi! After having built the world and kernel from something like midnight yesterday (CET) I have this weird problem that I didn't have with a kernel from late december. Anyone else seen this? I have noticed syscons changes lately, and I'm wondering if they screwed anything up. What happens is that after the probe messages have come up, I get no more output. The computer continues to boot to full multiuser mode, and I can log in, but I have to do it "blindly". There seems to be no way to the console into displaying anything except those frozen boot messages. If I log in and and vidconrol "VGA_80x50", for example, the mode _does_ change, but the text doesn't. And I can switch vtys, but without any real significant change. Only way I could tell that switching vtys worked was because I had one vty in VGA_80x50 mode. If I start X11, it will switch to graphic mode just fine, and run in X11. Then when I exit X11, I get the same crap again. So... What's wrong? Anyone else seen this? /Mikael
