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.
Clearly.
Have you tried appending nofb or vga=normal to the boot command?
Are you booting to X or console?
