I've been having an issue with Fedora virtual consoles coming up with the wrong color scheme for a while. Instead of coming up with white on black, they come up as grey on white. When I startx, X resets the parameters and they revert to white on black. The settings programs don't work to change this from within the virtual consoles themselves. I think I've traced this to a problem with radeonfb not initializing the virtual console parameters properly, so that when systemd instantiates them, they don't get proper settings. The problem is not there on an old 4.13.9 kernel on an old version of Fedora, while it is there on that old version with newer kernels. When I went to get the source in koji for that kernel, I see that it has been deleted, as have all other 4.13 kernels. Is there a way to get the src.rpm for those older kernels, or are they gone to the great bin bucket in the sky? Is there someplace else I could look for the source for an older kernel like that? I just want to compare the radeonfb code to see if it changed. It might be a race condition, since occasionally, the virtual consoles come up with the proper coloration. In that case there will be no change in radeonfb, and it is something about the boot process non-determinism causing the issue. Is there a way to tell the kernel to boot deterministically? Some configuration option that says, don't do multithreading during boot? That would allow radeonfb the time to fill the parameter struct before systemd uses it. Thanks. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/HVEQPBHZ6KZI5REIFYTH6HVEJ56563NW/
