Hi,

I have bought a cheap mini ITX board with an embedded Intel D2700 processor
and NM10 chipset, and the kernel I have built a few months ago doesn't even
allow text mode console - meanwhile, among other things, I'm trying to find
and strip out any frame buffer entries in the kernel configuration, so that
at least a plain text console might be visible.

Also meanwhile, a live CD (kubuntu) managed to get a VGA KDE running (no
pure text mode console), but only using a large screen monitor, and
exclusively using HDMI port (the same monitor did not work on VGA, and the
board does not support DVI), so that at least I could check the full
specification of the processor (`cat /proc/cpuinfo`) and all of the
peripherals (`lspci -k`), so that I could build a better suited kernel.

Any specifics on your minds about this hardware?

Thanks!
Francisco
