I've copied the output after switching to the framebuffer:

--------------------------------------------------

pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured.
block request queues:
  4/128 requests per read queue
  4/128 requests per write queue
  Enter congestion at 15
  Exit congestion at 17
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 00:14.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 2 of device 00:14.0
