Something is clearly working, because they continue to ping at least for a bit, and switching between VT1 and VT2-6 causes a slight change in the video pattern. I think we need --reset-vga for kexec (the manpage is unclear whether this is passed at load time or exec time), or we need to pass vga=mumble to the new kernel? |

It's unclear if LP:804671 will fix this or not. We "fix" this in the PXE installer by scribbling over check_missing_firmware if it's a Vostro.. |
