Re: video couldn't be autodetected

Sorry,
If i boot from the ISO image everything works correctly, dhcp, ping, X
runs ok, rdesktop works.
If i boot with etherboot and the nbi image, etherboot seems to work,
get's an ip and the location of the nbi, downloads it via tftp, then
linux starts but gives: ERROR: video couldn't be autodetected
and X doesn't start. I think the network does work, but I would have to
check that tomorrow, when I am back at work. Anything else I need to
check?
