Mark simple framebuffers as generic system ones and enable ‘Google’
firmware drivers to enable Coreboot table support and its dependent
framebuffer driver.

Guix,

This option is very important on Corebooted and presumably Librebooted machines. I strongly suspect that its absence has left ajarara in #guix unable to fix a Guix System that fails to boot. I don't believe that enabling it has any drawbacks for us.

Without it, the kernel has no access to the framebuffer (the contents of the screen) from the moment it is booted by GRUB until the often modular, full-featured DRM graphics driver (e.g., i915) is loaded.

This normally just means that your GRUB background remains on screen for a second or two after booting — which may actually be a visual improvement over flashing text output or flickering. However, things start hitting the fan if something goes wrong before the DRM driver can be loaded. The kernel has no control over the screen and the system appears to freeze without an error message.

‘Say Y.’

Kind regards,

T G-R

PS: I will not be enabling these for older or non-x86 kernels as I'm not as comfy with their internals.

[PATCH v3] gnu: linux-libre: Support the Coreboot framebuffer.
(address . 51619@debbugs.gnu.org)
20211212054515.17976-1-me@tobias.gr
Without this, the kernel cannot write to the display until the
full-featured driver module (often i915) is loaded from the root file
system.

If the root file system is encrypted, the initrd's passphrase prompt
won't make it to the screen, and the fully responsive system will appear
frozen whilst waiting for user input.

Mark simple framebuffers as generic system ones and enable ‘Google’
firmware drivers to enable Coreboot table support and its dependent
framebuffer driver module.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules):
Add the framebuffer_coreboot and simplefb modules on x86 systems.
