[Bug 246269] Re: Switched from vesafb to uvesafb, but uvesafb can't work without v86d

[reh4c]

After returning two junk desktops by Gateway and HP, I built a new rig to run Linux...Ubuntu as my primary choice.  Anyway, I tried installing Hardy and the desktop CD for Ibex Alpha 4.  Hardy froze up with a busybox error while Ibex gave me this one:
[ 2.422795] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-3)
[ 2.422795] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
[ 2.422795] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22
As a last ditch effort, I downloaded and installed from the alternate CD.  Somehow, the installation completed and now I can graphically start up my new system.  However, I can still see the error when I boot up.  What effect did installing from the alternate CD vice live cd have on getting around this messy problem?  I'm not a Linux guru, but will provide whatever feedback needed to get this and other bugs fixed.  Thanks.
