[arch-general] problem booting and using the installation media
Hi, I am trying to boot the installation media on a small embedded system already running linux. Everything boots fine until udev starts loading modules. Approximately when the install media reach the bash prompt, the display gets garbled. I suspect that this is when the graphic mode switch from text to graphic. I have been fooling around with the video and the vga kernel cmdline params but I haven't been able to find something that works. When booting the existing system and doing: cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon0 I have this: (S) VGA+ The graphic chipset on this system is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [8086:8108] (rev 07) Does someone have suggestions of things to try to use the installation media on this system?

Try booting with the 'nomodeset' option on the command line.
The graphic chipset on this system is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [8086:8108] (rev 07)
Poulsbo is crap, and the driver is probably barely tested.
