I'm trying to disable the monitor display so nothing is shown (neigher while booting nor when it's time for the shell prompt) (after the grub boot selections) on a monitor connected to a buildt in VGA card. I have tried to different combinations of disabled options in the kernel (running "make menuconfig"), but most of then result in a system that will run exatly as I wan't it to, but when running "shutdown -r now" it will hang somewhere in the shutdown process. /var/log/messages gives no usefull information. I have tried to disable the following: /console drivers/Vga text console /console drivers/frame buffer support/all disabled /character devices/Virtual Terminal I have also tried to enable "/character devices/Support for console on serial support". I run SuSE 8.2 and have tried this on the kernel: linux-2.4.21.SuSE-13.tar.bz2 Any idears on how this is proberly done. Thanks in advance Bo Jacobsen
