Hi Larry, thanks for the tip, appending nomodeset did indeed work. Now I have a tty again! X is currently not starting, due to this error: [ 473.385] intel: waited 2020 ms for i915.ko driver to load which I suspect is due to the nomodeset parameter. Is there somewhere an up to date guide for building a custom kernel? I have the linux kernel sources checked out and could try to bisect the issue. Cheers, Dan

If you force the kernel to not load any graphics accelerator, does it boot? When at the GRUB line, select the Advanced option and the 5.0.1 kernel. Then press E to edit the line. Find the line that starts with "linuxefi" or "linux", press the END key to get to the end of the line, and append " nomodeset". Then press the F10 key to boot. Do you get a desktop this way? If so, it will have no acceleration and limited resolution, but we will have isolated the graphics driver as the problem.
