Try booting with 'video=ofonly'. Newer kernels have a driver for the GXTxxxx cards which we may be able to get working on your machine. I tried with video=ofonly with no luck. Last message I see before the crash is: returning from prom_init Newer kernels? I just did a "yum update kernel" and yum picked up a newer kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc, re installed the GXT buffer, booted with the new kernel and still have the same problem, last message I get on the monitor is "returning from prom_init". Is there any newer kernels that support this frame buffer? Can I recompile the kernel to add support for it? Please let me know, I'm stuck. Thanks. Sorry, I meant newer upstream kernels -- it'll turn up in rawhide at some point. (This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report! |
