X-giesskaennchen.de-MailScanner: Found to be clean Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 935 Lines: 28 Hi out there, If there is anybody out there using SLES8 on HP ProLiant DL740/760: BEWARE! SuSE has patched UNICON into the kernel which will cause these servers to hang when booted with vga=normal. The system will run fine in fb-mode, but not in plain text. I cannot see, where this UNICON-patch comes from, it seems that is has been developed by some turbolinux-coders. HP and SuSE have not been able to either fix this problem or at least warn someone about this bug, so I will do it now. The bug is known since Nov 13th 2004. If there should be anybody who can help, please contact me. I hope this information will help someone to not run into deep trouble.
