FWIW, this is on F20 KVM/Libvirt guest on RHEL 6 host. Steps to reproduce: 1) Install F20 2) Apply all updates and reboot 3) Remove rhgb from /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub 4) Change "latarcyrheb-sun16" to "LatArCyrHeb-16" in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, /etc/default/grub, and /etc/vconsole.conf 5) dracut -f /boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` 6) Reboot and notice how latarcyrheb-sun16 is used instead of LatArCyrHeb-16 during boot-up or after switching to console Did you tested with "nomodeset"? Or blacklisting your kms driver? I can reproduce exactly the same way (but with radeon driver) as Kay posted: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892340#c9 kernel-3.13.6-200.fc20.x86_64 AMD 880G CC'ing airlied since this looks a like driver issue after all. (In reply to Marcos Mello from comment #2) > Did you tested with "nomodeset"? Or blacklisting your kms driver? I didn't before since in bug 892340#c13 Kay mentioned it works ok in qemu. But this is what I see today with F20 + updates: cirrus + modeset : fail cirrus + nomodeset : good qxl + modeset : fail qxl + nomodeset : good Thanks. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 20 kernel bugs. Fedora 20 has now been rebased to 3.14.4-200.fc20. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. 3.14.4-200.fc20 does not solve this issue. I recently had to use Debian and noticed their console font looked nice. Tried to copy it to another (freshly installed) Fedora machine. setfont works nicely, but I cannot get vconsole to apply it for all (or any...) consoles upon boot. The Debian system I used had a 3.16.3 kernel. Both machines are ThinkPads with Intel graphics. /sys/module/i915/parameters/modeset is -1. Maybe they just work around the problem. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you have moved on to Fedora 21, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 21. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. 3.17.2-300.fc21 does not solve this issue.

We should backport this patch. Thanks, confirmed, with this in place the correct font is taken into use during boot, not sure is it worth the effort to fix the drivers any more. |
