Other than that, everything done on this box works as it should.

The 5.15-rc4 kernel built without error and is installed using -current with the Nvidia-Linux-x86_64-470.74 driver and VirtualBox test build-6.1.27-147118. It is still blanking the screen, as described above, but it now only for 7 seconds.

Could this be commented line "compact" in lilo.conf?
The lines with dots I'm sure, but the 7 seconds blank I don't know what could be.
