When I was running Fedora 23 and using Xen (as the host OS), I saw something similar on my Dell Precision 470. I don't recall seeing it now with CentOS 7, but I tend to boot that machine headless more than not...

Dear All I am using Centos 7 with Xen 4.6 on a Dell Poweredge T430 When the machine boots, after the 'Scrubbing Free RAM' message, I get a screen filled with little white squares until the login prompt, so I cannot see what is happening as the machine boots. Also there is nothing on the screen when I reboot. My /etc/default/grub is GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rhgb intremap=no_x2apic_optout" GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="dom0_mem=13312M,max:14336M dom0_max_vcpus=6 dom0_vcpus_pin" GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_XEN_REPLACE_DEFAULT="console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen nomodeset" I have tried setting (for a 1024x768 resolution) vga=792 in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and commenting out GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX, but this makes no difference What am I doing wrong?
