Many thanks to all who have replied! |

The problem was indeed one of framebuffer. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
My machine is a G4 iMac with LCD. |
| 18 |
The video card is a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX. |
| 19 |
I had to add support for nvidia fb device in the kernel (the handbook |
| 20 |
states that only the OF device should be used in the case of nvidia, but |
| 21 |
I obviously misunderstood this). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This solved my first problem. I got into a further one about udev, which |
| 24 |
I was able to fix (support for tmpfs was missing). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And now it is a clock problem. The error message (copied by hand) reads: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Cannot access the hardware clock... try the --debug option. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
hwclock --debug gives this: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: no such file or directory |
| 33 |
No usable clock interface found |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
This is strange, as /dev/rtc exists. On the kernel side there is "yes" |
| 36 |
to "RTCclass", "sysfs", "proc" and "dev". The RTC to read is "rtc0". |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Any suggestions? |

By the way, enablecdboot did not work because I had written |
| 41 |
"enable cdboot". My mistake. |
