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

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