Usually, if your screen just got blank, it means you didn't add a necessary module for your computer. Your best bet is to read "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell", by Greg KH: http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ Specially, Chapter 7: Customizing a Kernel. Then, if your screen still gets black and you think it is a kernel bug, report it. -- Miguel Ojeda http://maxextreme.googlepages.com/index.htm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
