Description of problem: i'm running mageia in virtualbox. when i try to switch to a tty with ctrl+alt+F1/2/3.. the result is only a black screen. but if i start mageia with linux-nofb i have my tty. also if i start the sistem with init 3 mode and start dm with init 5 i have my ttys.
maybe it's related to plymouth/systemd. On Mageia-dev@ ml: http://www.mail-archive.com/mageia-dev@mageia.org/msg07959.html
Sorry, but i have no plymouth process.
..and i'm not using systemd.

Where is your dm located? Under F7 or F8? When i had the same problem with plymouth my dm was under F8.

Hello, I encounter this problem with old version of virtualbox, but not with the last one. Have you try to update to the last 4.1.6 ?

Yes, old virtualbox was the culprit! Thanks. Luca.
Good, I close the bug then.
