Supposedly there is a "--reuse-video-type" but I have no idea where I am supposed to add that (I only see it as a recent change in git log).
Also I see "--reset-vga" which just doesn't seem to work. So far the only thing that returns a visible output is grub.exe as I told you before, but it seems maybe kernels and even plopkexec starts just it is not visible what I am doing.
What I experience is rerally similar to this error:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659191Early KMS might not help in my case because my intention is actually to run a really old (2.6) kernel from a secondary SD card in my machine so I doubt I can add an early KMS to that old kernel... Also I don't see much value in adding an early KMS into plopkexec generally because it seems wrong to put in all the drivers for every possible card :-). Also I kind of feel that when I ran plopexec from grub and mounted a system just to kexec it manually from the terminal thing froze the same way so ah..... this is just a bit complicated...
I have a Mobility radeon 200M card using the open source radeon driver and KMS enabled on arch linux.
PS.: Maybe I will go back to the "grub.exe" approach as for some random reason it not only starts up, but actually I can see what I am writing. I do not know how they are able to do so though...
