Booting kernel from UEFI Shell - no console?

Jurassic · 2012-05-23 18:02:48

Hello ALL,
I'm trying to boot kernel from uefi shell w/o a bootloader like this:

fs1:> \efi\arch\vmlinuz-linux.efi root=/dev/sdc3 initrd=\efi\arch\initramfs-linux.img

All goes well, I see all the usual boot messages until at some point my screen turns black.

I saw this warning in the kernel.log: Warning: unable to open an initial console.

Do I need to use some special console=... or video=... parameter to get the console? If so which one?

Thanks for your help.
