Hello,

> I was using SVGATextMode instead.

Can you tell me what mode do you set up and what shows on the screen?
I've experienced some problems with SVGATextMode recently, but most of them

To get setup as similar to previous kernels as possible (and also as fast
as possible), configure CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE and unconfigure CONFIG_FB at all.

Have a nice fortnight
