Finally I've found a way! To start the Lucid server installation you need to add the following kernel args: vga16fb.blacklist=yes vga=788
Then after the installation and reboot, interrupt GRUB and add the following line just before the 'insmod' line: set gfxpayload=keep Voila! Lucid server installed on VPC. This should be fixed for maverick, not sure how, but I would think the vasefb module should NOT be blacklisted. Also, if a module is specified as a kernel arg, it should be loaded even if it was blacklisted. So if you add the arg: vesafb.mode=800x600x8 It'll load vesafb regardless of being blacklisted. This is still only a workaround. If gfxpayload is not set the VM crashes, and I don't know how to debug this. -- s3fb driver shows garbled console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
