I apologize for not coming back earlier. I tested booting in text mode and linux framebuffer driver gets loaded and linux switches to framebuffer console. So contrary to my assumption it is not necessary to have framebuffer active when linux kernel is loaded.
Also every now and then I (and other users) get the same text mode splash even for regular boot, with gfxpayload and vide setup.
So it really sounds like the root cause is somewhere else.
I keep GFXMODE lower as it also controls the resolution of the grub2 menu. It appears that the command "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep" is broken. Can you still access a lower version of grub2 from 2016? We should install them and see of there is any difference. Do you have 1.99? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
