Re: Bug#822575: debian regression: no more console output after "switching to mgag200drmfb from simple"
Without GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX I get

The console output doesn't get stuck, either.

Maybe. OTOH, upstream's kernel (built on unstable) just works,
using the same grub configuration, installed on the same bootable
USB stick and booted on the same hardware.
Do you think there could be a side effect of the recent patch
cleanup for mgag200 & cirrus done for 4.4~rc5-1~exp1?
