When Kernel starts Display goes away

[Mikec]

I wanted to try 3.4 to see if I could build FFmpeg with the legacy Kernel.  When I run any of the three (Trusty, Jessie, Wheezy) as soon as the script says starting Kernel, I get a few blue and green noise lines on the screen and then the screen disappears.  I can use SSH and.the system is booting up and running.  The one thing that I noticed is that when I log on, the name of the machine is LIME instead of MICRO.  I'm running an Olimex Olinuxino Micro.  Is there a config file that I need to tweek, or is the Kernel setup for a LIME?

 

thanks

Did I make a mistake and download the wrong files....  When I open the xorg.conf file I find this 

 

 

Section "Device"

        Identifier      "Allwinner A10/A13 FBDEV"

        Driver          "fbturbo"

        Option          "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"

 

        Option          "SwapbuffersWait" "true"

EndSection

 

when I log on from SSH I get the LIME stencil instead of the MICRO stencil...  I am running a Olimex Olinuxino Micro not the Lime

That's normal.

 

The only diff between micro and lime is a config. Check where your /boot/script.bin points to ... if it's not pointing to proper one, change.

 

So you get nothing on the screen but you can login via SSH?

Yes it is a newer ASuS, and it is running at 1920X1080P60 is that too high for the 3.4?  There are a couple of lines in dmesg that says that it can't match up the frequency with a mode.  it there a way to mount the monitor after the system boots?

[Igor]

Later Uboot auto detect monitor via EDID but if you got those green lines, that's ok ... as long as it's not UHD monitor 1440p-2160p .. In that case no picture is a normal (bug) behavior.

 

Yes, try to boot without and attach it later ... next check if your script.bin, section for video output is having correct numbers. Correct = HDMI, not correct anything else.
