I have a couple of older machines kicking around that I'm trying to |
| 2 |
revive, a 2008 Dell desktop and a Lenovo laptop. I installed Gentoo |
| 3 |
and ended up with the same problem on both machines... |

* During the install process, the text console works OK. |
| 6 |
* After the install, it starts off fine with the LILO boot menu. |
| 7 |
* After it boots, there is no text at all on the text console. |
| 8 |
* After much dicking around, I've managed to get my desktop to ssh |
| 9 |
into the old Dell after it boots. It appears to be fully functional, |
| 10 |
and I can do just about anything via ssh. Still no text on the |
| 11 |
monitor. |
| 12 |
* I have not gotten anywhere near installing X. |
