Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
v86d, which is required by uvesafb requires /dev/mem and /dev/zero to be present early in the initramfs. Currently they are created by the init-top/usplash script, moving them to the init-top/framebuffer script seems to solve the mysterious problem of [ 2.631307] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2) [ 2.631471] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 [ 2.631735] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22 Hopefully this small fix can be applied to intrepid and we can all have a useful framebuffer console with nice high resolution :) ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [intrepid] uvesafb requires /dev/mem and /dev/zero https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
