Message-ID: <20100522225553.GA17342@chiron.galaxy> (raw)

Hello,

I tried to boot an AMD Geode LX400 system ("mini PC") using PXE but,
after logging in as a normal user, always got complaints from rio that
it couldn't open a display, more specifically: "initdisplay:
/dev/draw/new: no frame buffer".

As my cpu/auth server is running on a Via Epia ESP5000 and doesn't
have any issues regarding graphics, rio... and as I had an identical
box lying around, I decided to try it with that one.

However, when this box boots via PXE, it has the same issue... Any
idea what might be wrong?


Kind regards,

--
