I searched the archives for a similar problem. When I tried Arjan's 2.6 rpm on my shrike install it worked great. When I try either the test1 or test2 rpms with severn I got no display. After removing the vga=791 param from the grub line I can see the kernel messages but the x server doesn't start.

Do I need to change something in the XF86Config or the modules.conf or what?
thanks,
On my machine I recieved similiar radeon errors, but X started fine without them.
Are you using a USB keyboard or mouse by any chance? I had to forcibly load the hid driver before my mouse would work. No pointing device will cause X to crash with an error much like that one.

On a sidenote, once I got my mouse working, the scroll wheel wouldn't function properly. I've had it working on 2.5 kernels that I compiled by hand, but not with Arjan's 2.6.0-test2 kernel.
It works fine under the default severn kernel as well.

I am using a USB keyboard and mouse. I noticed that there was error messages from that also but did not think that was the error that broke it. With shrike and Arjan's kernel I just had to ssh in from another computer and 'modprobe uhci-hcd' after it reached the login screen and everything would work fine. Why did it start X then without the mouse/keyboard?

Once you had a driver for the USB controller, it probably autodetected and autoloaded the appropriate drivers for the mouse. If you check lsmod, you should see the HID driver there.

Wow, what a difference. Thanks so much. I can no listen to the digital music files of my choice while actually using the computer for something else. XMMS has not skipped once and overall feel of the gui is much snappier.
I added 'alias usb-controller uhci-hcd' to /etc/modprobe.conf and that was it.
thanks,

Glad to help.
Sounds like you were playing with 2.6.0-testX for the same reason I was. To get rid of the god awful skipping on audio playback. I'm going to make sure that there is a bug filed on the skipping. If it's widespread, I would think it would be a showstopper.
Out of curiosity, do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse? If so, does it work properly under 2.6.0-test2?

Yes. I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. The grey one with 5 buttons and wheel. Seems to work fine so far, including the wheel.

i have a scroll wheel on my external logitech (USB) optical mouse that's hooked to my dell laptop. seems to work fine under 2.6.0-test2-bk5.

Oh happy day, mine is working now too.
I had created an initrd image with hid autoloaded. I just booted into it and ran an lsmod, and found that uhci_hcd wasn't even loaded. I'm not even sure how that would work.
I added it into modprobe.conf like you did, and now I have a functional scroll wheel. And non-skipping audio too.

I have the same problems with my Intel i810 crappy video card. X doesn't start. USB modules are loaded (optical mouse turns on) but then I see in the logs complains about agpgart module not running but I see it in lsmod :(
I'll test a little more on the weekend. Anybody has a light for this problem?
Thanks
Alex.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I saw the following blurb in Arjan's 2.6.0 readme.txt and to be safe, I compiled by 2.6 kernel with i810 support built in, and not as module. It works fine. I'm am running X and 2.6.0.test3 as I type this.
Known quirks ------------ * XFree86 vs AGP The kernel agp modules got split into per chipset modules; the auto-load mechanism of XFree86 in RHL9 isn't yet adjusted to this split. You can get it to work by hand by doing a "modprobe intel-agp" (if you have an intel chipset of course) before starting X.

I recompiled the kernel 2.6.0-test3 this weekend, just to add i810 video as built in and not as module, and it works very well!
Man, I am starting to love 2.6.0 already, hehe. Anyway, I hope i810 video works as module later.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Alex.
