The last line is about disabling the boot console, long before macfb is
initialized, so there's a "black hole" in between.
Can you try to add "keep_bootcon" to the kernel command line? That
should keep the boot console alive. It may conflict later with e.g. macfb
and the freeing of init memory, and crash horribly there, but it may give
some valuable information about what happens during the "black hole".
Thanks!
