Re: new iBook and booting.

Hi Carl,

This is the point where the screen freezes, leaving the above message
perfectly readable, yet the kernel continues to boot normally and

mounts

the drive.  I then have to blind-type my username, password, and issue

a

"shutdown -r now".

Any light you might shed on this would be very appreciated.  I think
Linux on PPC is great stuff and I thank you for making possible what we

can already do with it.

Please try to build a kernel with CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY enabled.
This fixed the problem for me (300Mhz,6GB iBook).

Though, admittedly, I don't see any reason in this.

PS: 433Mhz - I should have waited buying one ...

PPS: if I guessed wrong, here's the relevant part of my .config:
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY=y
CONFIG_FB_OF=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y
CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY=y
CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16=y
#
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
