I suppose the "set gfxpayload=keep" simply keep the mode setting by the BIOS. It should be "efifb" that set the mode according to it and create "/dev/fb" thus the console could run on it. However something went wrong thus "/dev/fb" not created ? ( It's my assumption too because no console I could use verify it) To fix this issue I would think two possible ways 1. By default set gfxpayload=auto or gfxpayload=text as they are also mentioned in grub2 manual.[1] I think the purpose of "gfxpayload=keep" is to offer a better boot experience because this omits the mode setting in the transition (bios => loader => kernel). Thus simply switch to other alternative need more discussion. 2. Suppose efifo should be able to work and provide a console, I will try if it can be fixed this way. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#gfxpayload [1] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
