Just as info: As soon is I type 'set console="comconsole"' my input has gone... Not possible to set the linespeed after that, only it still accepts keyboard but does not echo to VGA. So I guess the order has to be the other way around:  set speed and then swithc console. > console="vidconsole" This is the default if I show the loader options. > or > > console="efi" > if the board has EFI, may work better. Not sure if H8DMT has EFI or not It is a 2004 bios, I guess not EFI. Did not find it in any of the bios settings. I have the feeling that one way or another the kernel thinks that:   it should no longer write to the VGA videobuffer Or that some settings disable the video output. --WjW
