| |
Hello all,
I've seen this with earlier versions, starting on my old laptop, a Compaq Presario 1250. But I'm now in the interesting position that my only access to the machine is via ssh. This is what I saw when I booted:
U LILO boot: Loading 2.4.0-test7.......... Uncompr g L.L Ok, booting the k#ke
The "U" is actually a flashing green U. And the hash mark is really a musical note character. It finished booting, but with no further display, and I can still see the above. There is no visible response to the keyboard.
I had just figured out that the latest version of pcmcia-cs breaks the SuSE network scripts, so this is the first time I've successfully brought the machine up with network connectivity under a 2.4.0-test kernel.
But I'm composing this e-mail while ssh'd into it. So I have a pretty good idea that the system is running well in every other respect.
I looked through dmesg and can't say I saw anything unusual. I'll send it along with any other information you'd like. The screen may not be happy, but I'm not seeing any particular reason I can't leave the system like this indefinitely while attempting to sort this out. Just tell me what to do.

This is obviously impossible. -- Richard Davisson [from fortune]
