1 I have an iMac G5 revC (PowerMac 12,1) that was up and running with
2 2008.0 (linux kernel 2.6.24).
3
4 Recently upgraded the kernel to 2.6.27 and have an issue (used the
5 g5_defconfig to do the build).
6
7 The new kernel is booting fine except that the iMac console/terminal
8 does not refresh / update / render.
9
10 I can ssh into the system, and I can even use the consoles keyboard to
11 login (as long as I do not make any typos).
12
13 But the main computer screen (console/terminal) just sits there with
14 kernel debug info that was getting sent to it before whatever event
15 causes it to stop working.
16
17 Any ideas where to look... where to begin... to get my screen back? Need
18 to run an Gnome/KDE UI.
