| See the VMWare wiki page for the required kernel options you seem to be missing for the SCSI controller |

Hi, which DRM do I need for a VMware VM on ESX? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VMware doesn't tell about this.
I have | Code: | | CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX=m |
set. But during the boot the screens gets black soon after the kernel has loaded.
On some older machine with old 5.7.12-gentoo I also had | Code: | CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON=y |
but these don't exist anymore on 6.6.21.
Or is anything missing in the initrd created by dracut?
