Mine was going blank and then crashing/rebooting at the point when the sddm DM was meant to launch. The openrc boot scripts scrolled by without any problem. :-/ This is what I have configured here in case it helps. Otherwise you could diff old/new kernel configs to see if something is standing out. $ grep 'FB|DRM' /usr/src/linux/.config # CONFIG_NET_SCH_SFB is not set CONFIG_SYSFB=y CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y # CONFIG_IFB is not set CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV is not set # CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MM is not set CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_OVERALLOC=100 # CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE is not set # CONFIG_DRM_DP_CEC is not set CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y CONFIG_DRM_TTM_HELPER=y # CONFIG_DRM_I2C_CH7006 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I2C_SIL164 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I2C_NXP_TDA998X is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I2C_NXP_TDA9950 is not set CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_USERPTR=y # CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU is not set # CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I915 is not set CONFIG_DRM_VGEM=m # CONFIG_DRM_VKMS is not set # CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_GMA500 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_UDL is not set # CONFIG_DRM_AST is not set # CONFIG_DRM_MGAG200 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_QXL is not set # CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU is not set CONFIG_DRM_PANEL=y CONFIG_DRM_BRIDGE=y CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE=y # CONFIG_DRM_ANALOGIX_ANX78XX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_ETNAVIV is not set # CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS is not set # CONFIG_DRM_CIRRUS_QEMU is not set # CONFIG_DRM_GM12U320 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM is not set # CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO is not set # CONFIG_DRM_GUD is not set # CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY is not set CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ORIENTATION_QUIRKS=y CONFIG_FB_CMDLINE=y CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY=y CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y CONFIG_FB_SYS_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_SYS_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_SYS_IMAGEBLIT=y # CONFIG_FB_FOREIGN_ENDIAN is not set CONFIG_FB_SYS_FOPS=y CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING=y # CONFIG_FB_CIRRUS is not set # CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set # CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set # CONFIG_FB_ARC is not set # CONFIG_FB_ASILIANT is not set # CONFIG_FB_IMSTT is not set # CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set # CONFIG_FB_UVESA is not set # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set CONFIG_FB_EFI=y # CONFIG_FB_N411 is not set # CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set # CONFIG_FB_OPENCORES is not set # CONFIG_FB_S1D13XXX is not set # CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA is not set # CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set # CONFIG_FB_I740 is not set # CONFIG_FB_LE80578 is not set # CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set # CONFIG_FB_S3 is not set # CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE is not set # CONFIG_FB_SIS is not set # CONFIG_FB_NEOMAGIC is not set # CONFIG_FB_KYRO is not set # CONFIG_FB_3DFX is not set # CONFIG_FB_VOODOO1 is not set # CONFIG_FB_VT8623 is not set # CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT is not set # CONFIG_FB_ARK is not set # CONFIG_FB_PM3 is not set # CONFIG_FB_CARMINE is not set # CONFIG_FB_SMSCUFX is not set # CONFIG_FB_UDL is not set # CONFIG_FB_IBM_GXT4500 is not set # CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set # CONFIG_FB_METRONOME is not set # CONFIG_FB_MB862XX is not set # CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is not set # CONFIG_FB_SM712 is not set # CONFIG_CRYPTO_CFB is not set CONFIG_CRYPTO_OFB=y
