Dual boot Manjaro and Debian?
#3
This morning I found that I can actually boot the default Manjaro kernel with Debian 32 bit root filesystem, so one single kernel for both.
The problem is that I can't see the console.
As the kernel boots I see a few lines and then the screen flashes (I guess it is starting framebuffer console?) and I can no longer see anyway.
x windows is already disabled (with 'systemctl disable sddm') so it's not that.
At one point I was able to blindly type in root, the root password and then reboot, and it did reboot. So it is alive, I just can't see anything.
I added 'nomodeset' to the boot options but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is there a definitive boot option that I can put in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf which will stop the kernel using framebuffer?

hmm maybe I'm wrong. I set up a serial console using my FTDI serial null modem. Works with the Armbian kernel but not the Manjaro one.
