Re: Please update /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-knoppix.conf
Dear Eric,
Thanks for your extensions to blacklist-knoppix.conf, I will add them to
the release I'm currently working on!
I'm also wondering whether or not it makes sense to default enable the
uefi and/or "simple frame buffer", so that on UEFI machines the boot
process gets visible. Currently, the screen stays blank after the
bootloader loading the kernel, until the KMS drivers are loaded. On the
other hand, I don't know if the EFI / Simple framebuffer drivers have
bad side effects on the KMS frame buffer drivers and would keep them
from loading. Maybe you got a hint?
I'm currently working with kernel 5.16.5, with only a few UEFI-capable
computers available for testing.
Regards
-Klaus
