I compiled a 2.4.10 kernel from kernel.org source with XFS filesystem patches from SGI. When I boot the machine, I get the graphical chooser that allows me pick a kernel to boot. If I boot the 2.4.10 SuSE kernel, all works as expected. If I boot the 2.4.10 XFS kernel, output to the monitor disappears just as soon as I select that kernel. Everything is still running as I can SSH into the box, run X apps, backup software, mount XFS filesystems, etc. I can't seem to find any errors in the logs. Any ideas?

I just noticed something else. I didn't have X starting automatically. However, once I start it, it runs normally on vt07. There's just not anything on any of the other vt's. Jason ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you include frame buffer support in your kernel? That might explain such behaviour. -Kastus

I had included frame buffer support but not VESA frame buffer support. Doing that fixed the problem. Thanks Jason ---------------------------------------------------------
