2.2 switches to dummy console device, then later to 80x60 4 bit colour
framebuffer. "later" is less time than it takes the monitor to sync on
the new resolution, so on 2.2 I don't notice the short period of dummy console
device.
Initially I'd not compiled in 4bpp framebuffer support, so I didn't see
anything.
Question - what sort of monitor is plugged into your A400 ?

Start a dialup login on a remote machine somewhere when running RISC OS.
type cat >foo there
boot linux locally
reset machine
log back into remote system
cat foo
Worked for me.
