Comment # 12 on bug 1201205 from Dronskowski

I have the same issue.

I'm using Takeshi Iwai's simpledrm kernels from
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tiwai:/simpledrm/standard/ on
two different devices for a few months - no issues so far.

That worked fine until a few days ago when the "systemd[1]:  Failed to start
Setup Virtual Console" error appeared but the boot continued just fine.

The latest kernel build (5.18.9-6.1.ge00841d-x86_64) hangs (visually) after
this error message on both devices. Previous builds 5.18.9-5.1.ge0e67dc1 and
5.18.8-6.1.g296483f and non-simpledrm 5.18.6-1.1 work fine.

As far as I can tell, the boot process continues even with  5.18.9-6.1.ge00841d
 as journalctl continues after the vconsole error, mounts volumes, starts
plymouth etc.


Adding "nosimplefb" doesn't solve the issue - at least not with the simpledrm
build.
