Oh, then you probably want to try disabling the new bitmapped console by
changing the console flag in the grub boot options for the kernel to
"console=force-text".

Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
If I remember correctly the workaround lies in a parameter in xorg.conf. The
liveusb I did try doesn't even boot. It stops with pretty-colored lines all
over the screen and dies.
I tried the different boot options (vesa,...) to no avail.
That is why I'm looking to disable framebuffer at boot time (I can see it is
frame buffer from the font and look of the first lines (version, etc...) which
are printed just before screen corruption occurs

Hello,
I tried to boot Solaris 11 early adopter on my thinkpad x201 (intel graphics).
I get a garbage screen and then it dies.
I googled a bit and I suppose this has to do with KMS being introduced (snv151a
works perfectly, but with a text boot).
Is there an option to disable it ?
Did you try the workaround listed under "Screen Corruption on Intel Graphics
Devices" in the S11EA release notes?
