I've started to get the hang of the booting my next kernel with kexec...as long as I don't really need to look at my boot screen, it seems just fine.. For some reason, the 'vga' setting I have in lilo doesn't work to reset video on the command line, so I end up with a bunch of garbage on the console. I've tried vga=0x942 & 0x30a..both of which work in in lilo, but no reset on the cmd line.... Any special magic (any special console parameters) to get the console into a readable state when booting into a new kernel? Right now have: kexec -l '/boot/vmlinuz-3.6.0-Isht-Van' root=/dev/sdc1 vga=0x942 --append='root=/dev/sdc1 showopts console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 elevator=cfq pcie_aspm=force pcie_ports=native' Thanks, -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
