[SOLVED] CLI video resolution

suprstar · 12-17-2012, 09:18 AM

I have a supermicro server proxmox host with debian 6 and proxmox 2.2. When I boot the pve kernel that comes with proxmox, the linux CLI goes into this high resolution 50 line mode. I want to disable this, because the IPMI card isnt capable of the higher resolution. I want it to stay in the standard 80x25 character cell CLI so I can still access the remote console via IPMI. How can I do this?

If this is a headless server you don't need the kernel mode setting, that causes the change in the resolution.
You can disable it with adding the kernel parameter nomodeset to your bootloader.
