are you confirming that you had the same problem, or that you can
see it's fixed? the blackout clearly started early in the boot, when
the kernel tried to switch to high-res mode to continue printing
kernel messages. suddenly, with a kernel based on a pull from the
latest merge window, that switch works just fine and booting is good.
but i still have no idea which commit resolved that.
