on my sony vaio PCG-F403, with Neomagic NM2200 (MagicGraph 256AV) graphics chipset if boot screen of liveCD becomes corrupted in "verbose mode". especially sad because i must chose verbose mode to enter keymap. it looks like half of the screen is intact and lower half is covered with random pixels and messages are appearing on top of the grabage (making it partially disappear). the screen is recovered after booting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot sony vaio PCG-F403 from livecd 2. either make gentoo ask for keymap or press F2 when it starts to boot Actual Results: garbage Expected Results: no garbage livecd 1.4 RC4 on sony vaio PCG-F403
Have you tried the "nofb" kernel?
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
