- Converted the VMware vmdk hard disk file to a VirtualBox vdi file.
- Setup the virtual machine, launched it, removed installed VMware guest additions, installed VirtualBox guest additions.
- Added a 1280x720x32 as "CustomVideoMode1" for my grub.
- Added a 1680x1050x8 as "CustomVideoMode2" for my linux console.
The virtual machine is setup to run full screen. This is what happenes during the boot process:
- grub shows its boot manager screen using 1280x720 resolution (as intended)
- linux kernel switches console to 1680x1050x8 (as intended)
- linux kernel switches console font to "terminus" (as intended)
- linux kernel displays the Mint splash logo
- linux kernel switches back to console - changing console mode to 1024x768!
Can anyone help me with this? What would I have to look for in the linux log files?
Any hints will be greatly appreciated,
Baer
