    SubjectRe: KERNEL BUG: console not working in linux
    Problem solved

    I had to bypass the following instructions in arch/i386/boot/setup.S

    #
    # You must preserve the other bits here. Otherwise embarrasing
    # things
    # like laptops powering off on boot happen. Corrected version by
    # Kira
    # Brown from Linux 2.2
    #
    inb $0x92, %al #
    orb $02, %al # "fast A20" version
    outb %al, $0x92 # some chips have only this

    Then my system worked without problems.

    Now what I ask is:
    1) Why did they disable my videocard ?
    2) Whate are they supposed to do?
    3) Would you answer me this time ?

    Many thanks to Rasmus, Albert & Jo Geraerts, the only three who answered
    me. I would have expected more response from the list, but it seems the
    old gold days are over

    Bye

    Gianluca
