I did the online update too and indeed there is the console message during boot/restart but it doesn't crash for me on channel change.

enigma2 crashes when it tries to display something in the framebuffer (on channel change the infobar is displayed) and at the same time the kernel or enigma2 process writes something to console, which is also shown in the framebuffer.

Is there a quick way to disable framebuffer console output? In /proc/cmdline i see console=null but init process and enigma2 messages still go to framebuffer.

What a stupid idea of the driver developers to enable fb console without some testing first!

After further investigation it seems it only crashes when infobar is displayed. So it might be not fb related after all. Itried with default Magic skin, the same result.

I will try a fresh reflash instead of upgrade, maybe something went wrong on update.

Even if FB console is not to blame, showing init process messages in screen is not elegant, it needs to be disabled.

in the german CT board one user told that he did a complete new flash (without online update) - there are no prblems changing channels

Only the ugly console messages are still there...

It's an STB, not a computer. And a configuration option to enable it for people who like it would be better to have it enabled for all.

You can unbind the console from the framebuffer:

echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

but I do like the console ;)
Especially during the autorestore / autoinstall phase, it's good to see what is going on.

mmh, that doesn't work for me...

/sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind still is at "1." even after reboot

sure, it's bound by default, so after reboot the default '1' is visible again.
