Possible solution for video hang on Intel
Posted: 27 Jun 2019, 06:15
Yet another attempt to tame the Intel Atom - at least with Porteus 4.0 ...
I found this gem at the Archlinux wiki about Syslinux - specifically the troubleshooting sections about having a teeny cursor in the upper left hand corner during boot, and some of my Atoms will hang right there. The troubleshooting section is about 2/3 of the way down:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syslinux
So what I'm running with now as a cheatcode is
vga=current quiet splash
In addition to the usual intel_idle.max_cstate=1. Seems that vga=current is the key.
We'll see, but this may be promising.
