How does that look exactly? I mean how are you sure there are some more lines you can't see ? Do you see the last line like a cut in half suggesting there's more off-screen ?
Yes, for one thing. Also there are times when it has stopped outputting messages, then later starts again and a message goes by that tells me what was hanging it up (certain things, like updating kernel packages, are slow, so when that message goes by, I can guess that this is what it was doing when the output temporarily stopped).
If the Full HD resolution isn't working well in your setup, you may
try to force a lower resolution by trying out 'video=1024x768' or 'vga=0x318' kernel parameters.
I have tried a couple of different vga values but it has no apparent effect; I probably just haven't hit on the right one yet. I was kind of hoping someone here would have already seen this problem and have some specific values to try. Once the current system-upgrade that is in progress finishes, I'll try the ones you list here.
