   4 Subject: Disable gfxpayload=keep by default
   5
   6 Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be
   7 inappropriately enabled.  In any case, with the current Linux kernel the
   8 result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print
   9 anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up
  10 dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the
  11 screen.  As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter
  12 what kernel options are enabled.
  13
  14 gfxpayload=keep is a good idea but rather ahead of its time ...
