jmztaylor Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Just picked up a Lenovo x3100 M5 and video output disappears after boot. I can see BIOS screen and everything like that. But as soon as it starts boot from Unraid, I get no output. Not just black screen but monitor sees no input. Unraid is working perfectly fine, boots like it is supposed to just have no output. For testing I booted from ubuntu live usb and it outputs video like it should. Any help would be appreciated. unraid-diagnostics-20220408-1036.zip Quote Link to comment

Matrox G200 Just text. I don't even get the grub bootloader. But system boots and works just can't see it. Quote Link to comment
jmztaylor Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Here is a fun wrench to throw in. GUI mode works perfectly fine. Set GUI to boot by default and it works perfectly. Not really sure what that means to be honest Quote Link to comment

I think the console is redirected to something else, or you need a special parameter in the syslinux.conf to display it properly on your display output. Quote Link to comment

In the BIOS there is no settings for it other than network configuration. It doesn't even seem to be an option to disable it. Quote Link to comment

If flag_val is 1 (default), enable output to the video console. Some BIOSes try to forward this to the serial console and sometimes make a total mess thereof, so this option lets you disable the video console on these systems. Quote Link to comment

jmztaylor Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 I set console to 0 and 1 and it ended in the same result. I lose video as soon as grub loads. But booting to GUI mode, I still get the no output during boot till GUI is loaded. And the GUI works fine. Quote Link to comment

And the GUI works fine. if you are doing uefi booting try. append initrd=/bzroot video=efifb or append initrd=/bzroot video=vesafb for non uefi and see if you get any output Quote Link to comment

Used this in conjunction with and without console 0. Quote Link to comment
