Emulate 'vga=none' by gfxpayload as kernel boot parameter
Debians-boot, I'm trying to troubleshoot what I'm doing rong when trying to install Debian through serial console. If I start a Qemu VM like so: qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom debian-bullseye-DI-alpha2-amd64-netinst.iso -nographic -vga none -m 1024 At the Debian install prompt pressing the escape key get me to the boot prompt. boot: install console=ttyS0,115200n8 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text gfxpayload=text Undefined video mode number: 314 Press to see video modes available, to continue, or wait 30 sec If I use 'vga=none' the above is suppressed but Debian will not start properly after installation by saying that 'vga=none' is deprecated and that 'set gfxpayload=text' should be used instead. How can I specify 'set gfxpayload=text' to the boot prompt above? In other words, how can i emulate 'vga=none' when this argument is deprecated. This issue originated from a host on which I'm facing this issue and reproduced here for testing purposes with Qemu. -- John Doe
Handling the Turris MOX watchdog during install
Hi, I'm trying to clean the way for installing Debian on Turris MOX. One thing that's needed is the watchdog kernel module. It's already been enabled in the latest kernel 5.6.7-1, it's just missing from the installer's initrd.gz. I see that there is already sunxi_wdt.ko but I could not figure out how to add also the new one. Because u-boot enables the watchdog, the installer needs to kick it regularly during the install. Hot to do this? Thanks, Domenico -- rsa4096: 3B10 0CA1 8674 ACBA B4FE FCD2 CE5B CF17 9960 DE13 ed25519: FFB4 0CC3 7F2E 091D F7DA 356E CC79 2832 ED38 CB05
