Re: 2.6.0-test6 ruby success with matrox G550, and some questions

[Helge H. <hel...@ai...>]

I tried booting ruby-2.6-test9 with the single console patch
and framebuffer console again.

ruby without the patch hangs as soon as it switch away
from vga.

runy with the patch gets further.  The framebuffer shows
only garbage, similar to ruby with framebuffer but without
fbcon.  (Plain 2.6.0-test9 shows text on the framebuffer
console.) So there are more problems than just the
number of framebuffers on a G550.

I can't see printk's, but I see from disk lights that
the scsi bus does the usual lengthy initialization.
The kernel hangs shortly after that.  I know it hangs
because the keyboards stop reacting to numlock/capslock.
(No LED reaction, and no sysrq either.)
