      Hi all, after upgrading to 2.4.4 we are getting no vga console output on Atom J1800 hardware.
      Dmesg output from 2.4.3:

          subclass   = VGA
      

      Setting

      kern.vty=sc
      

      seems to fix the issue.

      The same behaviour is shown by the 2.4.4 live installer with no graphical output after the bootup screen.

      Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
