Mike, ill go for filesystem/kernel/memory issues. Please add whoever does that kernel. Eric, try a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel, or even better, 2.4.19 kernel. I see there are a few 2.4.20 issues in lkml. Ok I went to a 2.4.19-r10 vanilla kernel, identical setup to the previous one, tried first with XFree 4.2.99.4 nope stilld did not work this time instead of blank screen just got ascii random graphic chars tried switching of AGP still the same went back to 4.2.1-r2 and it worked nice nvidia logo and x keep same XF86Config file rebuilt XFree 4.2.99.4 same problem. Is there any other combo you would like me to try? I agree with Martin. This sounds like a memory/fs/CPU or kernel problem. Closing bug as "cantfix" fixing status of bug |
