This serial output shows nothing about uvesafb, but dmesg contains about uvesafb exactly the same modprobe failure as initially without LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY. I shall try Brice Waegeneire’s kernel-module-loader-service. This cannot be a solution because some computers do already have /dev/fb0 and doing modprobe uvesafb regardless makes their screen go awry. But it will be interesting to know if it still works. Also of course uvesafb still worked fine in November when we added hardware support warnings to the installer, not long ago, not August. Probably restoring the old linux kernel would be a workaround too. Regards, Florian
