[SOLVED] Blank boot console & TTYs?!

[Mintsoft]

Hi all,

I've just installed the realtime kernel package and noticed when it reboots I don't see anything on the terminal and I can't see anything if I do ctrl+alt+ F1-F6. The machine still boots but I just don't see it, the odd thing is, if I boot with the generic kernel it works fine and I can see everything! I've just checked over my menu.lst configuration and they're the same options et cetera :|


title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-19-rt
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-rt root=UUID=2299c57c-da7d-4a49-9292-5e0803ffefe7 ro vga=795
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-rt

title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=2299c57c-da7d-4a49-9292-5e0803ffefe7 ro vga=795
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic


Does anyone have any ideas on a solution to this?

Thanks

Incase anyone ever searches the forums I've actually just solved this myself! I noticed that my laptop didn't have the same problems with the RT kernel and I remembered having to enable the vesafb module to get a 1440x900 console so I enabled the vesafb as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConsoleFramebuffer and voila I can see consoles again!
