 |
|
I pass boot parameters to kernel by grub, but it does nothing. I tryed these options:
| Code: |
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 video=uvesafb:mttr:3,ywrap,1024x768-32@60 video=791
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 video=uvesafb:mttr:3,ywrap,1024x768-32@60
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 video=791
|
Info:
| Code: | gadelat@NB ~ $ uname -a
Linux NB 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 #4 SMP Thu May 28 09:19:37 GMT 2009 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I would be really disappointed if i had to reinstall my system and emerge 400 packages in 15 hours like last time...

Why would you want to rebuild an entire system to solve a boot/kernel problem - this is not windows...
Secondly - I am not entirely shure about the state of uvesafb.
BUT You need at least a patched kernel (IIRC gentoo sources should work), an an external program, and a initial ramdisk. ==> READ HERE

I did manage to get uvesafb to work on my machine. You don't need any specific kernel patch, but probably a lateish kernel (mine is genoo sources 2.6.28-r5). You do need to install that v86d and add it into the right place using menuconfig and a few other things.
There are some info on that site Weldrin points to. There are some other info available too. I think I used this one: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Uvesafb#uvesafb
