solved addin at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in /etc/default/grub
rdblacklist=ast ast.modeset=0
and then
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
reboot

[CentOS] no video with Aspeed (ast module) and latest kernel

2024-01-10 Thread Gianluca Cecchi 
Hello,
I have a CentOS Stream 9 server.
It is an Intel D50DNP1SBB one with:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc. ASPEED Graphics
Family (rev 52) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
DeviceName: ASPEED AST2600
Subsystem: ASPEED Technology, Inc. ASPEED Graphics Family
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 16, NUMA node 0, IOMMU group 42
Memory at 9400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Memory at 9500 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
I/O ports at 1000 [size=128]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/4 Maskable- 64bit+
Kernel driver in use: ast
Kernel modules: ast

Under kernel 5.14.0-386.el9.x86_64 I'm able to connect via bmc without any
problem both in text mode (multi-user.target) and graphical
(graphical.target).
Both with and without Wayland enabled in /etc/gdm/custom.conf

This morning I updated the system and the kernel is now
5.14.0-404.el9.x86_64, and I'm not able to see the console in any of the 3
configurations above in my bmc kvm remote terminal. Ssh connection to the
system is ok without problem.
Inside the remote kvm console I see the grub menu, I see the scrolling
kernel boot sequence (I removed rhgb quiet options), but at the end my
remote kvm display square disappears.
How can I debug? Can I disable DRM for the ast kernel module? or start with
vesa in any way?
