Hello folks! About my kernel: Created to handle virtualization Firmware (AMD Polaris, microcode) is compiled into the kernel .config is not a copy of /proc/config. It is a stack, a clean .config In a nutshell: I can boot the kernel image from EFI STUB: https://pastebin.com/JfhDaZvM <--- dmesg The problem is that the console doesn't show after boot. I can only see my UEFI MSI logo and the RGB on my devices. Nothing more. Here is my .config: https://pastebin.com/ik7aCYxj I don't know what I am doing wrong. Everything should work fine...

iNeedIT,

I don't see anything obvious with your console setup.

Please post

Code:

lspci -nnk

so we can see your hardware.

iNeedIT,

what happens if you DISABLE these (especially UVESA):

Code:

CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y

Dont change these:

Code:

CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_EFI=y

Maybe enable (to be on a safe side):

Code:

# CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is not set

iNeedIT,

Code:

# CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 is not set

# CONFIG_TIGON3 is not set

is required for

Code:

29:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1677] (rev 11)
DeviceName: RTL8111E Giga LAN
Subsystem: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1677]
Kernel driver in use: tg3

The I2C bus controls all sorts of odds and ends, so that may be a problem.
tg3 is only required if you want to use that Ethernet port.

AMD like Realtek sound codecs too so

Code:

# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK is not set

could be a problem later.

As you have EFI frambuffer enabled, it may be worth turning off AMDGPU for diagnostics. You have the right number of included polaris10* files but i did not check for typos, One typo will get you a blank console.

It's not an error to boot with a blank console. Can you use the live media to set up ssh and see if you can get in that way?
If so, put dmesg onto a pastebin.

You have some baggage in your kernel but the only maybe showstopper is your i2C bus driver missing.

pietinger and NeddySeagoon,
Many thanks for helping me!

I turned off:

Code:

CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y

And it is working now
