[gentoo-user] Why does my boot-up sequence look... well... messy?

[gentoo-user] Why does my boot-up sequence look... well... messy?

[Pandu Poluan]

Hello, I've been scratching my head about this problem.

I'm installing Gentoo x86 on XenServer.

When I run the Minimal CD using HVM-mode, I got a nice,
tidy/tabulated, and colorful output:

See: http://i.imgur.com/Trus5.png

However, when I've successfully adapted the installation into PV-mode
the output becomes messy:

  * The [ok] is no longer right-justified, but on a new line
  * The [ok] is no longer colored; just bland white

See: http://i.imgur.com/etVww.png

Now, what should I do so that the boot sequence again shows a tidy and
colorful output?

TIA

Rgds,

Please don't use URL shorteners.

They don't last long, they go away and the historical record is gone.

Plus, not many people here will bother clicking the link.

Just copy the output into the mail after snipping out the irrelevant parts.

You are also cross-posting. Don't do that either.

Are attachments okay in this list?

Okay, I apologize for that. Won't do it again.
