This was one of the things I tried. Without success. Same as before. Btw.: the kernel prints a message vga= being deprecated and ignored thus I suppose it not doing any harm any more.
I've tested now additionally: Debian testing and unstable. Both have the very same problem. Only one difference: Grub switches to 800x600, then, after loading the kernel but before transferring control, it switches back to 640x480. Unlike Ubuntu 12.10, 13.04, 13.10, it prints what the kernel logs up to the line: "Host SMBus controller not enabled!". Sometimes an additional line: "... Driver 'pcspkr' already registered, aborting..." is printed. Ubuntu 14.04 does this too, since applying the latest updates. Debian stable and Ubuntu 12.04.3 do both work as expected: Grub switching to 800x600, then back to 640x480 and then the kernel again switches to 800x600 (if LINUX_GFXPAYLOAD is not set to 'keep'). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247907 Title: Ubuntu booting into black console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1247907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
