 |
|
I'm trying to move from nouveau to nvidia-drivers today, and when I reboot, nothing is displayed after the "Loading initial ramdisk" screen. That is, nothing else will display no matter what I do. The system still boots properly, as I can ssh into it just fine.
I've disabled nouveau in kernel and tried with DRM either enabled or disabled.
There are no errors in dmesg, and lspci -k shows that the nvidia kernel driver is being used.

You probably disabled the VGA console options when building a new kernel. It's still needed to get to text mode.
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

It is already enabled in the new kernel. |

Is CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y still the case?
Do you have a EFI machine?

CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is also enabled, and yes, this is an EFI machine. |

Ah EFI may be a problem.
Then you need the EFI initial framebuffer options enabled, not VGA.
However I think you may be stuck with it like this, I don't know if the EFI framebuffer will conflict with nvidia-drivers.

Enableing CONFIG_FB_EFI solves the problem. Thanks. |
