screen blanks after 2.6.6 boots
 

hello, I've just built the 2.6.6 kernel so I could check out the

robustness (following kernel2.6.6 README instruction). It turns out

when I reboot with the new kernel, after lilo initiation, the screen just

go blank but harddisk keeps on spining. Is this because the kernel lack

built-in frame buffer support which I suppose to include? Oh, one last

newbie question. After the kernel compilation are these the ONLY 2

files I need to move to /boot ? 1. i386/boot/bzImage (rename to

vmlinuz-ide-kernelversion) and 2. /linux/System.map (rename to

System.map-ide-kernelverion) then create new sym-link files vmlinuz

and System.map to link to the 2 above coresponding files.

This has been extensively covered in this forum and others.

Here is a link to one of the posts:

which worked for me.
