2.4.19 + patch-20-pre11 Broken NVidia FB
Rebuilt my home machine last night. Used my 2.4.18 .config file as
passing it down the chain as always. Made the kernel with the standard alias and rebooted. BRIGHT GREEN screen. Rebooted to an older 2.4.18 kernel, changed a few options, no go. On a guess I removed the FrameBuffer option from the console menu and tried again. Box is up and working great. In addition, when the FB was compiled into the kernel or as a module X wouldn't work, said it couldn't find the NVidia kernel module. Excluding the kernel frame buffer worked great.
