Hi all,

After I compile the 2.6.19.2 kernel, my screen is just black when booting, although the booting process is finished and finally my kdm is started(I have set it in 'rc.local' before).

My previous kernel was 2.4.33(slack 11 built in). I just add ACPI, and SMBFS using 'make menuconfig'. I did not touch anything else.


I have SUSE 10.2 in a primary partition and I have Slackware 11 in a logical partition. I do not do 'mkinitrd' since if i do that it will be error,some kind of 'not found LILO...' so, my SUSE GRUB is:


-------------SUSE 10.2 GRUB file: menu.lst ----------------------
title Slackware
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.33.3 root=/dev/hda6 vga=791 noinitrd ro

title slack 2.6.19.2
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6 vga=791 noinitrd ro

---------------E O F --------------------------------------------

everything is run well. I just lost my tty1 until tty6. The ACPI that I want is run, also SAMBA.


thank you very much...

Did you change the default runlevel in /etc/inittab from 3 to 4? If so, then the only console on tty6 is normal. The X server appears on tty7.

tty1-tty6 are setup by inittab before you load X. they are always there unless you turned them off in inittab.

Do you super console graphics trying to load and you forgot to apply the kernel patch? something in your initrd?

Sounds like it also might be the console frame buffer stuff. That will just make it black.

I have re-compile my kernel complete with its initrd. But I still have the same problem. Looks like i forget to enable the console graphics support in device drivers...

thanks for your responses...

Wew...still

I have add enabled all device driver for display...but my tty1 until tty6 is black...

I have tried with make allyesconfig but compiling process stopped since my hardisk is full

Weheh....

FINALLY IT SOLVED!
