Using kernel boot parameter that is deprecated in grub2
Hi list,
This mailing list seems more appropriate for this type of questions than
debian-user.
I'm booting and installing debian 9 using a serial console.
After entering the boot command:
"install console=ttyS0,115200n8"
the following appeared:
"Undefined video mode number: 314
Press <ENTER> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue, or wait
30 sec"
This can be suppressed by adding 'vga=off'.
However, vga=* is deprecated in grub2 and will make your newly
installation unbootable.
I would prefer not to have to manually correct this issue using rescue
mode or so on...
The error given by grub2 after installation is:
"Loading Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 ...
text is deprecated. Use set gfxpayload=vga=off before linux command instead.
error: unrecognized number.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first."
Does anyone has any idea on how to avoied that prompt while keeping
grub2 happy?
In other words: how can I use kernel boot parameter if they are
deprecated in grub2?
