I've been keeping busy trying to keep a working kernel for a set of lab machines (indy r5ks) running linux, and as of a couple of days ago, I haven't been able to build a kernel that does not simply blank the screen and draw a non-blinking cursor where the mouse had been in the prom. I can boot from the stock vmlinux-2.4.3.ecoff kernel, and i can write that kernel to the volume header to boot locally. However, when I try to rebuild and boot a later kernel, with the X-ish support that I need, it errors as above. It feels as if I've done something to the system to deserve this kind of punishment. Can anyone help? Thanks George werkt@csh.rit.edu
