There's VGA device for lots of server products , e.g. SKY-9240 , MIC-5345 ... etc. Most of our testing environment is Linux based OS. Sometime user may face VGA was turned off (blank) after a certain period, with that we may get limited to check VGA pattern.
Issue description (SKY-9240 IFD):
We face VGA output nothing after 600 seconds on CentOS7-gid-efi-20181130_ver0_64_3.img.gz , and cannot check VGA pattern.
Root Cause:
It's from system settings.
# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64 root=LABEL=C_m ro console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 crashkernel=512M biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 modprobe.blacklist=ipmi_ssif,qat_c62x,qat_dh895xcc,qat_c3xxx,intel_qat LANG=en_US.UTF-8 vga=0x318
#
# cat /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank
600
Solution:
Add parameter “consoleblank=0” at kernel boot in CentOS7-gid-efi-20181130_ver0_64_3.img.gz
