Hi!

I recently
tried to upgrade my well-working NetBSD 1.0
(with ECS console and Picasso-X-Display) to
Version 1.1.

Unfortunately, all kernels I tried fail
to create a working Picasso console... I
just get a blue Picasso screen with no
text on it, although the boot process
goes on in the background.

After disabling the Picasso using shutup,
I can boot 1.1 without any problems.
I also heard about NetBSD 1.1
running without problems with the same
hardware config (A3000/PicassoII).

Under NetBSD 1.0, I had similar problems
with the X display
later known (and fixed by inserting NOPs)
as the "White-Screen-Problem".

QUESTIONS: - Has anyone in this list encountered
             similar problems or any idea how to
             fix them?
           - Is is possible that the White-Screen-Problem
             already fixed in 1.0 returned in 1.1?

Thanx in advance!
