Description Laurent GUERBY 2004-04-29 10:29:17 UTC 
After install, on first boot I get a screen asking
for display information (LCD 1024x768, millions of color)
I click ok and then everything goes black, I have to power off/on.
The machine is an ACER 1353 LM laptop.

I'll attach FC1 XFree logs and lspci

(EE) VESA(0): vm86() syscall generated signal 11.

This indicates that vm86() is broken somehow.  It has broken several
times in the 2.6.x kernel timeframe, and is likely a kernel bug.

Reassigning to kernel component.

/var/log/messages

This is /var/log/messages from boot to reboot, it shows nothing
particular to my unexpert eye. Let me know if I should install
another kernel RPM and try it.

(EE) VESA(0): vm86() syscall generated signal 11.

is there anything more in that log ?
Comment 8 Laurent GUERBY 2004-05-01 10:45:47 UTC 
No that's the last line, may be there's some option to make it more
verbose?
Comment 9 Arjan van de Ven 2004-05-01 18:10:32 UTC 
ok build 347 is supposed to have this fixed; will be on
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6 in a few hours.
Comment 10 Laurent GUERBY 2004-05-02 09:27:24 UTC 
Build 347 fixed the problem, many thanks. I'm attaching
/var/log/messages and Xorg.0.log.
