--- Comment #21 from Paul Tobias (tobias.pal at gmail.com) ---
I'm having the red console text problem with the ast driver too. It worked fine
with kernel 4.12.12, the problem appeared after upgrading the kernel to
4.14.14. 

The boot process starts with proper console text colours, but right after
kernel modesetting kicks in the white text changes to red. I've used the
"nomodeset" kernel parameter to work around the problem for a while. I'll
attach a picture which illustrates the problem.

I've bisected it to the same commit b8e2b0199cc377617dc238f5106352c06dcd3fa2 as
in comment #8.

Applying the patch from comment #13 on top of
b8e2b0199cc377617dc238f5106352c06dcd3fa2 fixes it for me.

And the patch from comment #17 on top of stable 4.14.14 fixes it too (without
the patch from comment #13).

Unfortunately I don't have a Radeon card, can't test with that.
