Field Note #1 @nfoav8or 2008-10-27

the faded screen basically signifies a kernel panic. did you customize the install correctly? what kernel are you using right now? have you tried the new voodoo kernel (still in beta, but working)?

Author Update #1 @nicholasblock 2008-10-27 ↳ Re: @nfoav8or

yeah i am using the new kernel i found the problem theres a post on here that tells u how to get it working but its written wrong and that was my problem in the other post u have to enable hidden files to get to the usr folder so all works now

Got another question if u can help me for some reason i cant restart i can shut down but not restart it powers down and logs me out but it hangs w/ a black screen it has to be something with iDeneb and i've tried the shutdown pkg on the install cd i am on voodoo beta 2 but thats not the problem cause i was using it with kalyway and had no problems and i've also tried other kernels with the same luck if ya could help that would be great

Thanks,
Nic
