            Bug ID: 198123
           Summary: Console is the wrong color at boot with radeon 6670
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.14.3
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: dpirate at metalpunks.info
        Regression: Yes

After upgrading to kernel 4.14.3, at boot the console screen has a white
background with light gray characters that are barely readable. After X starts,
the problem disappears. But if you don't start X, it stays that way. Rolling
back to 4.13.16 fixes the problem. Same problem with 4.14.4.
