A friends system recently installed with Debian just booted in 80x50 and set the font incorrectly, resulting in an unreadable screen. (Only the top half of each character was displayed.)
This bug has been reported at least twice before, and apparently has yet to be fixed. The fix is to edit /etc/rc.boot/console as follows. Could this bug PLEASE be fixed? ---BEGIN--- #! /bin/sh # /etc/init.d/kbd: load appropriate console font and keytable. font=default8x16 echo "Console setup:" echo -n " " loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/uk.map #if [ -f /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$font ] #then # echo -n " " # setfont /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/$font #fi ---END--- ttfn/rjk
