Description Davide Repetto 2012-05-30 14:54:44 UTC
Description of problem:
======================
Text on the console appears completely garbled immediately upon loading the kernel both with and without kernel-modesetting.

The vga is on an Intel desktop board:
====================================
        Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
        Product Name: (Fayetteville) D815EFVU
        Version: AAA51500-803

And is:
======
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 02)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
============================================================
Vanilla "desktop" install of Fedora 17 with kernel 3.3.7-1.fc17.i686.PAE

How reproducible:
================
Always

Additional info:
===============
It works perfectly with FC16 and kernel 3.3.7-1.fc16.i686 (and grub1)

Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2012-05-30 15:52:31 UTC
Despite being an Intel GPU there is currently no KMS support for 810/815 chips, so kernel modesetting isn't a factor here.

Do you still see this if you configure grub2 to boot with gfxpayload=text instead of gfxpayload=keep?

Comment 2 Davide Repetto 2012-05-30 19:58:57 UTC
Yes. It's the same with both parameters.

Comment 3 Davide Repetto 2013-02-22 23:52:30 UTC
Pointless to keep the bug open. Most probably will be or is already fixed in new kernels. Besides, I have no way to verify it anymore, because the hardware is since gone in hardware heaven... :)
