Hi Dave,

     On kernel versions 4.20 and greater, the MGA G200
driver has a fatal error during GPU init and the KVM console
I use hangs. I still can ssh into the machine, however. The
log and some basic info is below. This error is 100%
reproducible for me, on different machines. With kernel 4.19, I don't 
see any error and the KVM console works correctly. Please let me know
if you need any more information. (Also, I wasn't sure which
email to use, the DRM drivers maintainer email is the linux.ie
one and the mgag200 maintainer email is the redhat.com one, so I sent it 
to both).

Thanks,
Oliver
