Fb takes over console VNC available
by slackerz from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6QJJC)
I've setup a Void Linux distribution that is a VM on a local hypervisor.
The boot sequence loads the Linux kernel as expected but then the fb takes over the console.
I end up with the following situation on the console:
Code:...
...
...
=> Initialization complete, running stage 2...
- runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1
- runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2
runsvchdir: default: current.
[ 4.675633] fbcon: Taking over console
[ 4.689613] udevd[815]: starting version 3.2.14
[ 4.704571] udevd[815]: starting eudev-3.2.14
[ 4.727732] 8021q: 802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8
Unhandled ps2 mouse command 0x88
[ 5.034051] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/inputAt this point I expect to see a log-in prompt. But there is none.
I can see a log-in prompt on the VNC console if I enable the corresponding VNC module in the VM.
My question is, I am trying to get a log-in prompt at the console itself (at stdio).
fb takes over the console because the VM has been setup to boot via EFI. I suspect this wouldn't happen with a BIOS emulated VM.
I have already tried disabling the fb in the Linux VM using various kernel params such as nomodeset and vga=nofb to no avail.
I have tried setting which then displays the early boot sequence:
Code:console=ttyS0,115200Does anyone know how I can stop the fb from taking over the console?
