I tried setting the VGA mode to extended to give me 50 lines of output, but even though "lilo -q -v" shows "VGA mode: EXTENDED", I still have a 25 line screen. Well, I noticed I hadn't configured CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT, which is why I wasn't able to put my monitor into extended mode. It now works, and I further noticed I hadn't enabled RAM disk support, so my initial RAM disk wasn't being loaded. So, 2.4.0 now boots (still with problems, probably caused by the modutils changes, but at least I can debug now). Thanks to the many people who emailed me with suggestions. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
