If I have the nvidia FB compiled in, then nvidia module fails to load long before local.start seems to be called. You can't have the nv driver providing the console frame buffer, then load the nvidia driver. If you do that, you have two different modules laying claim to control of the video hardware, thus causing the second one to fail to load.. If you want support for different video modes and boot splash etc, use the vesafb, then your nvidia driver should load. Bob Young -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
