[RESOLVED] Ignoring BGRT: failed to allocate memory for image

Hello,

I did a fresh install of Arch (UEFI) and am now receiving this error early during boot (when asked for my LVM password to decrypt):

Ignoring BGRT: failed to allocate memory for image (wanted 4320054 bytes)

Unfortunately I have no idea what it means or what BGRT is, couldn't really find anything on google either.

Do you think you can help me?

Re: [RESOLVED] Ignoring BGRT: failed to allocate memory for image

Are there any actual issues resulting from this error, or are you simply concerned if this could result to any issues?

If your system works just fine, I wouldn't be too worried about the message. I was able to find this lkml thread on google that may shed more light on the subject.

If you want to get rid of the message, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Silent_boot

It's just for aesthetics as it obscures the LVM password prompt. Will try silent boot and report back. Thanks!
