I'm trying to get Lirc working, and according to the website I need to rebuild the kernel so that the serial ports are built as modules. I have suse 9.1 and I've rebuilt the kernel with the help of http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html .
The comilation of kernel and modules goes fine, and I've added the new kernel as a newentry in grub.
But when grub starts the new kernel the screen goes black. What have I done wrong?


Heres the .config : http://www.apspektakel.com/config
and the /grub/menu.lst : http://www.apspektakel.com/menu.lst

You may need to enable the frame buffer support (even though it says it is experimental).
