Hi all,
I have an odd problem, for which I couldn't find any suggestions on google.
A CentOS 5.7x64 gives me a blank screen on bootup, both to the 17" LCD monitor connected to the VGA port, and to the KVMOVIP device built-into the server,
I can see the GRUB boot loader, and everything booting up, upto the point where it says "Waiting for driver initialization.", then it goes blank - both on the LCD and the KVM.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
It does the same whether I boot into the CentOS, or XEN kernel, or in single user mode.
First few lines of /etc/grub.conf:
# initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/md0 default 0
