Ah, it seems we forget to sync the initial cursor position with the hardware cursor if we don't use syscons as the kernel console.

This applies to both serial and vga consoles. Yes, this is an issue I'll look into very soon. I've been a little busy the last couple of weeks, which means I've not been able to look into this issue yet. I hope to get it fixed somewhere this weekend. Let me know if the patch solves your issue. --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ --MLcyhLwX/7AHNQNx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmAyqgACgkQ52SDGA2eCwXmHACfcOVXAjQ1AaAT9uEHPrDNZ57U SU4An12TCJjYGBmVnTDaQwy1Kkl6xa80 =5kXD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MLcyhLwX/7AHNQNx--
