Yes, that's what I should have said instead of "proper". So far I can't break it; after booting with "vga=ask" and doing some things at the prompt, the kernel output still starts at the right place. But the emergency fallback early_printk still starts at a fixed place and the x86_64 'direct mapping' message will screw things up when there's no earlyprintk boot parameter. -- Chuck "Equations are the Devil's sentences." --Stephen Colbert - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
