2.4 Kernel Lockup
I also have a problem: During booting my screen goes black but after I login and start X (with a black screen) X works perfectly but if I get out from X again (in console mode) again I can't see anything (sometimes I can see a blue or a green screen).
I think is has something to do with the frame buffer options from the kernel (my previos kernel 2.2.17 worked perfectly with similar configurations).
I KNOW this is NOT a kernel bug and only a misconfiguration and it is my fault for this error and I am really sorry if this is not a proper list for such a question (I just joined this list) but if someone can help me please do.
I have my kernel configuration list but I can't send it on this list because is too big (it has 19 kb) but if someone wants to help me I can send it to his private e-mail address.
Thank you,
Adrian
PS: I have an "vga=791" option in my kernel so my console should be in 1024x768 resolution.
PS(2): I tried using the "voodoo 3" option from the frame buffer menu (I have a voodoo 3 3000) but then instead of having a black screen I have a black screen with blue dots that move around (they look like mangnified distorsioned chars).

I seem to be getting a rather odd kernel lockup on 2.4. I am using XFree 3.3.6 ( I believe ).

Whenever I start X, my session starts up like normal, but soon locks HARD. Is this a known issue? I suspected the fb stuff, and so I removed it and the problem remains.
Any ideas? I can repeat it every single time.
