The machine I posted about earlier (GRUB GRUB GRUB...) is dead. |
| 2 |
It hung booting the 2005.0 CD, and if I booted a DriveImage CD |
| 3 |
with a DOS partition, every key on the keyboard was echoed ^A. |
| 4 |
Ah well. |

So I just installed another machine, using the 2005.0 CD and using |
| 7 |
the new instructions. It has a Matrox G400 so I added support for |
| 8 |
that in the kernel. This may have been a mistake. |

Everything is fine until I reboot, when after the GRUB screen and |
| 11 |
kernel selection, the screen goes black with lots of pretty blue |
| 12 |
squares all over it. Nice, but not helpful in logging in. And of |
| 13 |
course sshd isn't enabled by default. No matter, I reboot off the |
| 14 |
CD, mount everything, do the chroot thing and add sshd to the default |
| 15 |
runlevel, reboot and I can get in remotely. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I guess I will rebuild the kernel with Matrox support removed and |
| 18 |
see if that fixes. |

BTW, what is the received wistom wrt building things into the |
| 21 |
kernel or building them as modules? As well as the G400 I have |
| 22 |
an Intel NIC and a VIA sound card, and this time round chose to |
| 23 |
build them in, though before I built them as modules. I'm not |
| 24 |
clear as to the pros and cons. |
