Subject: splash image is broken when booted from a USB rescue stick
Message-ID: <20170407105412.GA98876@ecofish.x19290.appspot.com>

Hello.

I have created a PLD rescue USB stick according to the procedure:
http://readme.maven.pl/2007/11/03/booting-plddos-from-usb-pendrive/

It first shows a broken logo with misaligned texts.
The boot itself can be done without a problem.

I can see the right splash when booted from rescue CDROM.
Or I can preview it on a UTF-8 capable terminal as follows:

$ iconv -f cp437 boot.msg

I tried both VMware Fusion and VirtualBox on El Capitan.
Same broken splashes in both cases.

What is wrong?

Thank you.

The packages below will be removed from Th until someone steps up and
fixes / updates them. They are either old and require a lot of work to
update, or unmaintained upstream.

ceph (all support will be disabled in dependant packages)
feathercoin
fife
framewave
libstk
zoneminder

You have been warned, you have two weeks if you want to keep those in Th.

Bonus points for updating mongodb to 3.4.x

More stuff:

icedtea6
icedtea7

Both are full of security holes and cannot be built due to class data
version being only java8-compatible.
