PROBLEM: matroxfb broken with G450 in 2.4.21 (and 2.4.2
Quoted 7 lines · Herbert Schmid
[1.] Matroxfb doesn't init a Matrox G450 DH correctly.
[2.] The console stays in VGA-Mode. If the VGA-console is not compiled in, the screen is not updated after the "Ok, booting the kernel." message. You won't see neither the kernel bootstraping nor any console login, but working blind is possible. X11 works fine.

Did you run 'make oldconfig' on the old configuration? I see
"bool ' G100/G200/G400/G450/G550 support' CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G450"
in drivers/video/Config.in, so 'm' is illegal value for this choice, and anything can happen, including explosion of your computer, or creating driver which supports no hardware...
