hi,

boot option " mgag200.modeset=0" fixed this issue for me, too.

Thank you
Regards
Martin

Hi,

I just noticed a similar issue on an IBM flex chassis, for me adding the boot
option mgag200.modeset=0 worked around this issue. Does this help for your issue
as well?

regards,
Mika

Hi there.

I am using grml for testing purposes on many different servers, I am using the standard ISO with your netboot files, in addition only a little netscript for mounting nfs shares. With current version "2014.11" I recognized that all Supermicro boards with onboard VGA "Matrox G200eW" fail to boot completely. On local monitor I can only see "populating dev", nothing else, not possible to switch terminals.

But remote connection with ssh is still working then. So I find error messages with dmesg and syslog:

e.g.:


[   39.700307] checking generic (f9000000 180000) vs hw (f9000000 1000000)
[   39.700310] fb: switching to mgag200drmfb from simple
[   39.700335] Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25
[   39.700590] [drm:mga_vram_init] *ERROR* can't reserve VRAM
[   39.700592] mgag200 0000:07:04.0: Fatal error during GPU init: -6

Sorry for my incomplete, unprofessional bug report, I am not a developer or something like that...


If you need any further information please let me know.

Thank you for GRML!

Regards

Martin Panny
