Core6 Console Driver Issues with UDEV

[cc68ap]

im hoping this is a simple question / answer. on fresh core6 install when udev loads i loose the lower 2in or so of my screen ( no x-windows, just running console ) if i remove all the rules to udev this issue does not happen. my guess is a console mode driver but unsure of where to change it. hardware is a trident CyberBlade/i1 any suggestions would help, box is hard to manage when i have to keep clearing the screen to see what is being displayed.

Is this a laptop? I've got a cyberblade in my laptop which hasn't exhibited such issues at all and has run F5, F6 and now F7.

Apparently, the VESA framebuffer is compiled into the kernel and loaded on boot. Don't know how that relates to udev. You could check some of the options (such as resolution) for VESA framebuffer and append those to your kernel boot parameters.

You could also try to change the consolefont. Something like setconsolefont (can't remember the exact name).

no not a laptop mini-itx, has many problems with core2-5 core1 works perfect, just started testing core6 on it. i will look at the consolefonts and boot parameters and see if it clears up the issue

thanks
