Ok so with those there seems to be some resolution lines which get repeated three times with the Ubuntu kernel (which is odd) and compared to the self-compiled kernel there seems to be no action to replace the framebuffer.
Could you try to boot the Ubuntu kernel with "vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1" added to the kernel command-line in grub and report back whether that changes behaviour (also adding the dmesg from that run)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270656 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 boots to blank console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1270656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
