Well it booted fine to the kernel so I'll reassign it there, some mode setting going wrong ai assume.

In any case, an haswell laptop recently updated from 20.04 to 20.10 now hangs on boot unless you explicitly set GFX_PAYLOAD_LINUX=text in the grub configuration. The hang is just before starting X and sddm (distro is actually kubuntu). When hanging, the system remains responsive to SysRq+B, hence only the video subsystem appears to go dead.
