Hi.
I have reconfigured a x86/64 router from scratch with 25.12.0-rc1. I wanted to monitor the boot on screen: to my surprise the screen went blank after a few seconds, while the router still properly works.I didn't try to watch a boot console on a screen for a couple of years, so this behavior is new to me.
Can I assume that this is expected? Is there a way to disable the screen blanking and continue to monitor the boot? Can this be related to the package kmod-drm-i915?
If any importance, the CPU is an Intel i3 5005.
Yes, it is related, i915 initializes somewhat default display parameters and may miss the "right" mode
try
echo "options i915 modeset=0" | tee -a /etc/modules.conf
# reboot

It works perfectly, thank you.
Even if I didn't write it, my guess was that the igp entered some kind of graphic mode, while displaying nothing. kmod-drm-i915 is new since a few months, at least since the last time I tried to use a screen.
if you got time to kill, try adding nomodeset as kernel param in grub.cfg instead.

next driver - svga or vga or efi may work for high-res console better....
