I did ALL over again, following both the Handbook and my notes from previous tries. |
| 4 |
After installation, I can boot this oldworld powerbook from BootX (that means I did not install |
| 5 |
a bootloader in a /boot partition) BUT.... after I see the first five white lines over this beatiful |
| 6 |
black bakground... the SCREEN GOES BLACK and I see nothing! The white lines get lost |
| 7 |
and the onlything I can do is hear the sound of my drive working. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
It's funny, I can log in and poweroff but absolutely blindly. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I already checked the .config file and double checked I selected support for my video card |
| 12 |
(ATI). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Any ideas, please? |

* To Sum Up: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- I couldn't make 2.6.7 work. Kernel Panic: VFS could not blablablabla.... |
| 19 |
- I could boot 2.6.8 with no extra arguments in BootX BUT screen goes black after the first 5 |
| 20 |
white lines, so I see nothing at all. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Best Regards, and please have patience with my ignorance. |
