Hi all,
I have a IGEL Etherminal C Thin Client (that's a "real" computer with
a Cyrix Media GX CPU, and nearly everything you need on board: LAN,
ser, par and VGA).
With Linux 2.2.xxx there are no problems, but with Kernels 2.4.xx
scrolling doesn't work :-((((
If the kernel boots the screen is filled up with kernel-messages. If
it reached the last line, the screen isn't scrolled up (but booting
continues - if Linux is up I can telnet to this box).....
Any ideas? How can I help to find the bug (ehem, if it is one)....
Thanks
Michael

That sounds like you may have very old VSA1 firmware in the BIOS. Does
it behave if you enable the VESA console and boot with a vesa bios
framebuffer set ?
