This is independent of the resolution chosen when using vga=ask. The machine does boot and I can start X if I log in blindly. Only the F1 to F6 consoles are gone. Bug originally reported and ignored on Cooker: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41302 My card is an old STB NVidia Riva TNT, monitor is a flat panel Dell 2007FP, system is a Dell Dimension XPS T600 (82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 with PIII 600). I cannot see anything different in /var/log/messages between rc3 and rc4 (vga=837) vesafb: framebuffer at 0xfc000000, mapped to 0xd8880000, using 7500k, total 16320k vesafb: mode is 1600x1200x8, linelength=1600, pages=6 vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:02d2 vesafb: pmi: set display start = c00c030b, set palette = c00c0381 vesafb: pmi: ports = 3b4 3b5 3ba 3c0 3c1 3c4 3c5 3c6 3c7 3c8 3c9 3cc 3ce 3cf 3d0 3d1 3d2 3d3 3d4 3d5 3da vesafb: scrolling: redraw vesafb: Pseudocolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=0:0:0:0 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 200x75 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device This is still true with a vanilla 2.6.26-rc8. $ grep FB_RIVA /boot/config CONFIG_FB_RIVA=m # CONFIG_FB_RIVA_I2C is not set # CONFIG_FB_RIVA_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_FB_RIVA_BACKLIGHT=y Please cc me if you need more info since I am not subscribed to the kernel list.
