Bug 12624 – isolinux boot graphic completely blue

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Michiel de Bruijne 2002-12-23 12:07:33 UTC]

I have tested the 2002122100 LiveCD, but I don't see the isolinux boot graphic 
(http://cvs.gentoo.org/~drobbins/livecd.png). The screen is completely blue, I 
have an AthlonXP with a NVidia GeForce TI4-4400. If more testing or specs are 
required please let me know.

I noticed this too on an ECS K75SA with a Radeon 7500 in it. Should be able to 
do 640x480x16 colors just fine, so let's consider this an isolinux issue.

After talking to the author of syslinux, we have determined that in these
problematic cases, the VGA graphics mode is not being initialized by syslinux.
We will need to look at this code ourselves, as it is not a priority for the
syslinux developers. Likely it is not correctly detecting if there is a VGA card
in the system.
