No longer starts the VGA in text mode
I just updated from pre-0.10, and now the vga starts in a graphics mode, which makes it more difficult to get start printing simple things.
I looked through the features, but I couldn't find any reference to a text mode, so has it been removed entirely?
Yes, it has been removed UEFI doesn't support text mode, so to allow using the same kernel code on BIOS and UEFI, bootloader now sets up a framebuffer unconditionally.
We now have some migration guides that explain how to switch from VGA text mode to a framebuffer.
