Booting from the cd, the kernel selection screen comes up, and no matter what options/kernels i use, the screen goes blank but the rest of the system sounds like its still going. (is there a kernel that does absolutely nothing to initalise the video barr enter text mode? thats all i need) This has happened with all gentoo live cds so far on this setup. Its a old Cirrus Logic GD5434 based pci video card. i dont have another pci video card to test with, but if i can borrow one i will update the bug report with more info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot gentoo cd 2. 3. Actual Results: The screen goes blank with a cursor in the upper left corner, then that disapears too Expected Results: showed me a pretty booting up screen
strange that nofb doesnt work, you can try with "gentoo vga=0" or "gentoo vga=normal"
