Hardware Conflict Message [SOLVED]

[Brianrh]

When I boot up my laptop I get a hardware conflict message briefly flash up but it is too quick to read the complete message. I edited menu.lst to boot up in verbose mode but this hasn't helped.

In verbose mode the text scrolls down the page then the screen clears and the warning message appears briefly at the top of the screen. Is there anyway of logging this message or do I need to take a picture or video it so I can read the complete message?

Thanks.

You should be able to find the message by running:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | grep conflict
I suspect it may be something like "conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver".  This is usually harmless as it simply means that the generic driver is being replaced by the intel specific driver.

Cheers Terry I'll try that later when I get home from work.
