This has started happening with > the switch to systemd. From a cursory look, it doesn't seem to be caused by systemd itself but it's a race condition and the way console-setup works. And the timing under systemd might simply the different then under sysvinit (it's usually faster). When Karsten added the dependency on udev settle, it probably just changed the timing (by delaying it a little) so made it less likely to happen. It might be, that loading the KMS module resets the font. So maybe console-setup should run when hardware shows up. This is a shot in the dark, but can you try and create the following udev rules file: $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-setupcon.rules ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="vtconsole", KERNEL=="vtcon*", RUN+="/bin/setupcon" Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
