When I have my coreboot payload Linux kernel setup a console framebuffer and then kexec into Xen + another kernel, the video glitches out quite a bit before falling back to text mode. The kexec --reset-vga option doesn't seem to have any effect.
I read in the docs that kexec and framebuffers don't get along and it seems that the patch from 2006 only works with VESA: https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/17/58 My system is using i915 graphics, and there is no option ROM, so I don't think it even shows up with any VESA compatible modes. Is there any way to reset the card or to transfer the mode info to the next kernel? -- Trammell -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
