The *real* problem is that the real-mode boot code never ever runs, thus SCREEN_INFO is not initialized (all zeros), and vgacon doesn't catch that case. Instead it thinks it runs on a EGA card with 0 lines and 0 columns. So better fix vgacon to catch this and switch to the 80x25 dummy console instead, patch attached. cheers, Gerd -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
