Was hoping to add a bit of test coverage, and ran into a strange
issue.
The beta Server compose[0] boots, but there is no VGA output after the
initial rainbow, u-boot, GRUB, and "Booting..." text (using an HDMI->VGA
adapter) on a Raspberry Pi 3b. Cockpit works so boot clearly succeeded.
Fedora Minimal for the same compose[1] works as expected with text based
initial setup appearing over VGA.
Is this a known issue or intended behavior? I couldn't find anything in
Bugzilla.
The HDMI to VGA adapters have always been as ropey as hell on the RPi,
in fact they were never particularly great even on the OLPCs back in
the day either.
They're also very variable from device to device so it's very much a
case of it may or may not work but we don't really get a lot of
reports either way these days TBH.
