    Kernel 2.6.10 problem on Asus S5200



    I've recently tried to upgrade my laptop to the 2.6.10 kernel.
    the problem is that every kernel I've built so far, at boot time, turns de screen all black. No text mode.
    I tried dosabling the framebuffer, but it didn't do any good.

    Anyone have a clue what the problem is?

    If any of you have the .config kernel file for kernel 2.6.10 or kernel 2.6.9, could you send it to me?

    Thank You

    If you press
    Code:
    CTRL-ALT-BKSP

    Somewhere I think there's an option like "support for console on virtual terminals". You might want to be sure this is enabled. Grep your config file for CONSOLE before you start looking for it. Honestly, I really don't know if that's a real option or if i just made it up right now I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but I could probably figure something out tomorrow when I got the time.
