Is this possible? I'm currently getting a hang after "returning from prom_init" as described here. I'm using an old 32MB TNT2 64 AGP card because that's what I've got spare. My project doesn't require a video card, but it's sure going to speed up the initial development.

Sorry, should have mentioned that this is in regards to the EFIKA.

It doesn't "hang" - it's actually booting in the background properly, I guess, but there is just no display.

You'll need a kernel with the nVidia framebuffer driver module compiled for it. We're not offering that with the stock install kernels right now, though.

The eventual goal would be to have the open firmware framebuffer be activated and used but the ofwfb driver seems not to work since 2.6.8 or so.

If anyone wants to look at that please give a hint :)
