Well, I tried to remove all the video mode stuff and just leave the 'vga=790' in the line and then it's back to the crash as noted before. True enough, no panic, just a blank screen! Something has obviously changed with the kernel upgrade from 2.6.31.6 to 2.6.32.2 as far as frame buffer support is concerned. I got the suggested video mode configuration stuff from a grub2 item on the arch wiki. At least now I can experiment with different grub entries and keep a good stable one available with the latest kernels. I'm just trying to get my big screen back <sigh>. See how spoiled we get when something breaks?:) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAks+1jYACgkQWSjv55S0LfFr6ACfSY4kNZz5CLJlwRgHURdj8k6z r/EAoISmrL2TXwIWuFqVHIbr6eU90nK1 =h1pJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
