everything was ok before i compiled a new kernel (as u can see 2.6.15.4) and then the framebuffer console doesnt have a "penguin" on the left top of the screen and the resolution is deadly... u can see letters from the plane i think!
how to get it back to the old good 1024x768x256 resolution?

and the 2nd problem is my cd writter lg 52x32x52. its recognized as a hard disk! i've set it up in the fstab (there wasnt it at all in the storage media even before i compiled the kernel) as /dev/hdd (its set up as secondary slave) ican mount it and work, everything is ok but that its recognized as hdd??? i didnt try to record anything with it yet but i doubt it will do anything...
anyone help?
tnx!

1) Did you compile in support for Frame buffer devices + video mode selection support

2) It's normal for cd/dvd to be hd*.

i did that works now but still no "penguin"...
and for the cd-rw, i cahnged the icon for it and all the icons for the HDDs turned into yellow cdwritter icons!! lol! i cant believe its such a stupid miss...

I think theres another setting for logo in the kernel

Compare your kernel .config with pat's 2.6.13 or 2.6.14 kernel .config(from SW10.2 or Current download pages) to narrow down what you need to get everything working smoothly. Happy Slacking

I also have had this same problem with the frame buffer.

on 2.4.29 it works fine - when i compiled 2.6.15 i am forced to use: 'vga = normal' in my lilo.conf

all the other options failed.
I have checked back a number of times now whne i am trying to set other things up and i included all the pengiun logo's and everything else that looked related..

Is there somehing specific we should be looking for.

Im logged into windows right now but from memory there was something i left out called 'framebuffer consule - debugging support' i think..

All you should need is Framebuffer, and Video Mode Selection. They need to be compiled in "*", not selected as modules "M"
