Paul's 2.2.15 does not boot a 7200

[Matt McLean]

Hey,

That sounds like it's not recognizing your onboard video...

Be sure you have CONFIG_FB, CONFIG_FB_OF, and CONFIG_FB_PLATINUM set to
yes in your kernel config...

Otherwise, do you have a strange CPU upgrade?  Did earlier versions of
Paul's kernel work on your machine?
