No display in kernel 2.6.12

lilsirecho · 2005-07-11 14:34:16

Display terminates during boot-up at udev step after upgrade to new kernel.

Activity indicated on hdd but no display results( assuming the boot is continuing).

Any help for this problem?

You might need to reinstall your video driver after updating your kernel. I always have to reinstall the nVidia drivers.

the problem is that the newest kernel doesn't detect my nvidia 2 GT card, so drivers can't be installed. Suggestions?

Maybe this is what you are looking for: nvidia-legacy package.

My video driver has always worked with kernel upgrades in the past but fails to continue display after the boot-up step involved with udev.

I have an ATI 8500LE video card without accel driver.

I am using KNOPPIX LIVE DVD 4.0 to address the forum.

discovered that my system was not upgraded correctly due to lilo mixup.

I would appreciate the change necessary to lilo when upgrading to the 2.6.12 kernel.

I am getting forgetful in my eighty years.

I seem not to have the right vmlinuz call out in lilo since my query....uname -r...lists 2.6.10 as the running system.

My ID for vmlinuz is....vmlinuz26.
