It is quite easy for BIOS to ignore int 0x10. Okuji =================== BUG #2397: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: ilgiz Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: 2003-Jan-26 00:12 Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: None Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 2003-01-08 CVS snapshot Reproducibility: None Planned Release: Summary: [PATCH] Add an option to disable any video output Original Submission: There were suspicions that the bootloader's int 0x10 BIOS video output can prevent the system from booting. The following patch disables any video output which is not controlled by menu.lst. In order to completely disable video output, one should specify a serial port in the GRUB's menu.lst as a default terminal. There are 2 drawbacks not solved by this patch: a) The video BIOS int 0x10 is still required after applying this patch. A better patch should intercept any int 0x10 and emulate sane default responses. b) The Linux kernel will display the "Uncompressing image..." message through the video BIOS call.
