I haven't used lilo in ages. Try adding vga=0 and see if it boots then.
Hello list
I've got a fairly old Knoppix 3.3 HD-Install with 2.4.22.xfs Kernel but kept the system up-to-date with Debian unstable.
Now I'm trying to set up the Debian binary Kernel 2.6.8-1 out of apt. Every time I start the system with the 2.6.8-1 Kernel, after the kernel was loaded (the screen with lots of dots), the screen gets blank and stays blank until I restart the PC. The system isn't loading at all (HD stays inactive). I've got no other information, what could have gone wrong.
Does anyone know, what I missed?
Cheers and thanks in advance

mzilikazi is right. The problem is binary kernels from debian come with frame buffer disabled. So you need to remove "vga=791" from your "append" line in lilo. Or use Kano's kernel, works flawlessly for me, and supports FB...
It does the same for me.
Has someone been able to run knoppix with a kernel get by ?
Code:apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
I did manage to use a debian kernel image with Knoppix 3.3 but as baldyeti said, it's easier with Kanos kernel. AFAIK Kanotix kernels don't work with Knoppix 3.4 though.
I messed around with kernel images last winter and IIRC I had to do something like:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -o linux-2.6.8.gz
And change the kernel line in lilo.conf to point to initrd=/boot/linux-2.6.8.gz
Hello:
At last I was able to boot into my 2.6.8-1-686 kernel, but I want to know if it is possible to enable framebuffer in this new kernel I have downloaded and installed.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Don't know if it's possible to enable something that's disabled in the kernel.
OTOH, if it's this much work to get a kernel image running you might as well compile one and have a smaller kernel as well.
