In certain situations with older monitors. Make sure the bootup is not
trying to change into SVGA mode at boot. A lot of distros try to change
into SVGA mode asap. Something like "no-framebuffer" at boot should fix
it.<br>

<pre wrap="">The situation is as follows:
The monitor displays POST, then LILO, then booting, but somewhere in
the init process the monitor shuts off and remains off until it wakes
up on shutdown -r now, at which point one can switch between virtual
consoles and see the messages that root has echoed to for instance
/dev/tty4.
Any ideas? It's not a wiring problem.
