The fb started automatically, as I was not passing any parameters to the
kernel. Normally I pass vga=791. Beside this issue, the IO is very slow.
Opening, saving or scrolling thought a file suspends for some time (ex,
tab completion in the console). I don't think this is related.
Since the problem still persist, I think I am left with one option which
is using ~arch. But where's the documentation for this ?
