blank screen at hotplug detection

Harkov · 07-21-2005, 04:41 AM

Hi,

I just upgraded my kernel from 2.6.11 to the 2.6.12.2 from the /testing directory in slackware-current. I installed the headers, modules and source as well and did the /sbin/lilo, fixed the errors and rebooted.
After that my screen went blank at the detecting hotplug message. I can still log in so I blindly reinstalled my nvidia drivers (long shot I know), Tried to start the X server and rebooted to knoppix to read the error logs.

Here's what I got at the point in the startup process where my screen goes blank.

Code:

Some other messages, I think from during the attempt to start X:

any clues on how to fix this?

I would recompile the kernel without rivafb support and nvidiafb as suggested
or maybe put these modules in /etc/hotplug/blacklist

thanks, blacklisting worked. Now I still don't have any sound and I'm getting weird perl warnings but at least I can see what I'm doing.
