When that happens to me, it's usually because I haven't compiled the right |
| 14 |
frame buffer into the kernel (it won't do as a module). I use the vesa |
| 15 |
frame buffer (not uvesa) with this kernel line: |

|
| 17 |
kernel /boot/kernel-x86_64-2.6.29-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/md0 vga=0x31A |

video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap fbcon=scrollback:128k splash=silent |

I don't use genkernel, nor an initrd or initramfs. |
