RE Hi Mem

Might want to take a look at iniitab and make sure that you did not
somehow mess up the mgetty stuff:

# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

when you have X up, thry a control alt 1 and see if you have a character
cell terminal running on tty1. check to see if mingetty is running vi
ps. Look in /var/log/messages to see if mingetty died. From a root
window in x, try a /sbin/mingetty tty1 and see if it barks.

Subject: High Memory Support
From: Enkidu <enkidu@bastardsonofgod.com>

I upgraded my ram and had to enable high mem support in kernel 2.6.8.1
for all of it to be recognised. So, I made the changes, recompiled,
copied the kernel image to /boot and reloaded lilo. Lilo successfully
loaded the kernel, but nothing was being displayed on my screen after
the lilo screen faded. Lilo's default graphics mode is normal, I don't
have framebuffers enabled, I didn't mess with any drivers or graphics
settings, but that doesn't seem to matter. Despite the screen being
blank, the system seems to be fully functional. I am able to login and I
get a normal display when I start X, though when I shutdown X, I am
again without a display. I suppose the obvious solution would be to
disable high mem support, but that is not a viable option for me at the
moment. If any of you have an idea of what is causing this or how I
might solve it, I would appreciate any input. Thanks,

Art
