From 40321623d4f47aa86c0e100d669bea96f3c971df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Watson Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:12:57 +0000 Subject: Disable gfxpayload=keep by default Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be inappropriately enabled. In any case, with the current Linux kernel the result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the screen. As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter what kernel options are enabled. gfxpayload=keep is a good idea but rather ahead of its time ...
