Also working vga=786 (640x480 / 24-bit, with the little fault this time that the progress bar is not correctly centered).
Now also tested 769 (640x480/8-bit), 775 (1280x1024/8-bit), 784 (640x480/15-bit), 791 (1024x768/16-bit), 789 (800x600/24-bit), 792 (1024x768/24-bit) and 795 (1280x1024/24-bit), and aside from the centerization issue of the progress bar, all work. So setting any of these vga=NNN settings seems to correct this for me. I answered the usplash.conf issue earlier already, ie. it was set at the default xres=1024 / yres=768. Regardless of what I put there, the usplash hangs without setting some vga= -thing. Are the developers sure this is not related to any of the hacks that were made during late Ubuntu 6.10 development on the amd64 platform that resulted with that low-resolution, grey thing from the past on the amd64 platform? Could it be by default eg. forcing 640x400 that was at some point discussed, is it the thing causing problems, or what? (saved the text, booted one more time). Answering to myself: no, also vga=768 works, which is 640x400/8-bit. So using any vga=NNN parameter fixes the issue, but by default Feisty crashes hard each and every time. -- Feisty crashes after grub if usplash enabled (amd64) https://launchpad.net/bugs/86666 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
