Downloaded precompiled ISO loaded into VMware with the OS as other linux kernal 5.x both x86-64 and non after launching only get a screen with / # and a flashing cursor. is this a problem with the setup or do i need to run a command ?

I get the same (although I compiled my using the bash script)

fbDoom graphics renders incorrectly if visible and virtual resolution is not matched. This is why it is creating issue on VMware I guess. Please look at #6. Can you please confirm?

I will check in a bit. I was experiencing build issues with kernel 5.4.3 as outlined here: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/pl9pak/compiling_older_versions_of_the_kernel_using/ (I'm using 5.15.0-41-generic on Ubuntu) and so have specified the latest 5.4.X instead in the bash script (currently 205)
