I’m not running linux here. only 9front.
Booting from linux USB sticks works without any issues.
Using the image seabios_x200_4mb_libgfxinit_txtmode.rom:
With igfx:
- I get a screen glitch (like on photo i sent), but the cursor is drawn. However, I can't move it.
With vesa:
- It says there's no framebuffer (don’t remember the exact error) and continues in terminal mode.
Using seabios_x200_4mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb.rom:
When I boot directly with SeaBIOS, it shows at startup:
bootfile=/amd64/9pc64
boot
…and then it just freezes.
When I boot through U-Boot, everything works fine, even with VESA.
