This occured on the following system: Asus P4P800 / Pentium4 3GHz FSB800 HT enabled 2*512MB DDR RAM Ati Radeon 9800 Pro When booting the livecd and choosing the smp kernel with acpi=ht (in order to detect 2 cpus - without just one will be detected) does not work. It shows some quick messages and then the screen goes blank to change to the frame buffer console (that's what it should do), but the screen remains black - i have to restart. I was able to solve this problem with either not using framebuffer or not using acpi-parameter on boot Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a System where it makes sense to use an smp-kernel 2. Boot with "smp acpi=ht" from livecd 2004.2 (i386) (that's how it happened here) Actual Results: Screen is black and my monitor LED goes from green to orange (which is actually only when in standby or computer is completely turned off) have to restart Expected Results: Continue booting with framebuffer and 2 detected cpus I completed gentoo-installation without framebuffer, compiled my own kernel - and the result is: both works - 2 cpus detected + framebuffer.
Post your working kernel config. Also, what kernel sources did you use?
My /boot/config-2.6.8 looks like this: ( I used emerge gentoo-dev-sources as kernel-source which is 2.6.8-r3) or should i better have used an external url ? =) # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit #

Did you edit that config manually?
yes, i think that i changed some settings manually. But most settings are as gentoo preconfigured them.
I'm going to look into it, especially since we are changing the default for 2004.3 from acpi=off to acpi=ht so people with Hyperthreading no longer have to specify acpi=ht manually.
I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600SE on a single cpu AMD system (acpi enabled, but I don't specify acpi=ht.) I'm having the same problem, however my system continues to boot and once xdm starts, X will load as usual and it looks fine. I've tried various resolutions, and only one put something on screen for me, though it was very, very distorted (can't remember what res that was though, sorry.) I'm running gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8-r10. I've tried spcifying both vesafb and radeonfb at bootup (though I have radeonfb compiled into the kernel so I'm not sure that makes a difference), and I have the same results either way.
If radeonfb is compiled in, it'll always use that one. Try using one of the -test series CDs located at /experimental/x86/livecd/x86 and report back.
I had the same problems with VESA-tng, too. (Without readeonfb compiled in.)
I'm using vesafb (not vesa-tng, which is still flaky) on the LiveCD.
Well framebuffer and acpi=ht seems to work perfectly for everyone that I have found that tested the 2004.3-test series of LiveCDs. Now that 2004.3 is released, I'm marking this one RESOLVED.
