With Kernel 2.6.35-7.12 the forced VGA workaround does not work, nor does another workaround that functioned with an earlier version of kernel 2.6.35-7-generic. It seems that with all versions of 2.6.35, the PREVIOUS boot must be one that did not involve a video output cutoff(however short) on starting the root filesystem init. Behavior is quite inconsistant as updates to other packages come through, with the latest initramfs-tools update killing the forced vga workaround in 2.6.35-6-generic, for instance. I rolled initramfs-tools back for that kernel, which I now use, and tried 2.6.35-7.12 both ways, with and without vga=0x365 on the grub command line, after booting the Lucid kernel for a clean previous boot, but nothing worked.
With 2.6.35-6, the video output cuts off without the forced vga. With the first version of 2.6.35-7, this was not needed, but the update to 2.6.35-7.12 seems to have killed all the workarounds. Been doing a lot of experimenting trying to find out exactly what in the init sequence is triggering this, have confirmed mountall's connection to plymouth is not at fault by temporarily substituting a script. > Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2010 16:00:48 +0000 > From: jeremy.fos...@canonical.com > To: lukek...@hotmail.com > Subject: [Bug 599196] Re: ATI Video output cuts off completely during boot > for several seconds > > ** Tags added: kj-triage > > -- > ATI Video output cuts off completely during boot for several seconds > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599196 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.
