Hi Chris,
2008/11/11 Chris G cl@isbd.net:
It all installed OK without any problems and ran OK. However since I set the graphics resolution to 1600x1200 (the display's default) it crashes *totally* on exiting from X. It's a total, hard, crash - CTRL/ALT/Fn won't switch to a text console, I can't ssh into the system (which I can before it has crashed) and I can't ping the system.
Sounds like a kernel oops or freeze. Do the Magic SysRq keys work? Next step would be to get serial console support in kernel and pump the output to another box, then trigger the crash by exiting from X. The relevant info should be useful to someone.
Do you get the same issue at a different resolution? With vesa X11 drivers?
Good luck,
Srdjan
