New issue by gc-user on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/46758
Description:
### Is this a new report?
Yes
### System Info
Void 6.3.13_2 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate hold rrmDDDFFFFFFFFF
### Package(s) Affected
zfsbootmenu zfsbootmenu-2.2.1_1
### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
There is a similar report about this error message, though it doesn't involve zfs and thus it doesn't involve zfsbootmenu or rEFInd.
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/45216
The error message apparently is not critical, but annoying and there should be a way to eliminate the cause. For now, my guess it that the config file for iniramfs might contain the cause of this error message.
In /boot/config-[kernel_version] there are some settings regarding fonts:
CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_FONTS=y
# CONFIG_FONT_8x8 is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
# CONFIG_FONT_6x11 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_7x14 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_PEARL_8x8 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_ACORN_8x8 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_MINI_4x6 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_6x10 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_10x18 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16 is not set
# CONFIG_FONT_SUN12x22 is not set
CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32=y
# CONFIG_FONT_6x8 is not set
As the settings contain "TER" I tried installing terminus-font and rebuilding initramfs for the kernel and zfsbootmenu as well as vmlinz for zfsbootmenu, but booting those didn't make the error message disappear.
As grub isn't installed on my system I haven't tried the same installing grub-terminus as it seems pointless to me.
I thought of commenting out "CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32=y" to "#CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32 is not set", but am unsure if I might break something so I haven't tried that yet.
### Expected behaviour
The boot process before zfsbootmenu is showing up should not differ from using initramfs images of previous versions of zfsbootmenu. I.E. this error message should not show up.
### Actual behaviour
During boot, after rEFInd screen, just before zfsbootmenu screen the error message shows up:
setfont: ERROR kdfontop.c:183 put_font_kdfontop: Unable to load such font with such kernel version
### Steps to reproduce
1. Update zfsbootmenu to v2.2.1 and let dracut build a new vmlinuz / initramfs image
2. Reboot to see the error message appear after rEFInd started loading the new initramfs image
