This is probably one of bde's syscons patches that added colorizing by CPU, e.g., r330918. I confirm, it stops happening when I set the VM to only have one CPU, and inversely, I get more colors if I add more CPUs. Seems like it's not a bug then. How do I turn it off though? (In reply to koro from comment #2) Have a look at the SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTRS description in syscons(4) This is now syscons' default behaviour for kernel messages. |
Created attachment 196359 [details] Screenshot Confirmed happening on two different machines, one physical and one VM. When using VESA to set the syscons resolution via /boot/device.hints: hint.sc.0.flags="0x180" hint.sc.0.vesa_mode="0x14c" Some of the kernel messages text appears in dark gray with no discernible pattern. This started with 11.2-RELEASE.
