    Did you change something in your kernel config? I had the same problem
    once, because I forgot to enable these kernel options:

    No, I did not change anything, during kernel upgrade only run: make oldconfig

    but nvidia-drivers-525.105.17 compiled with a note:
    WARN: setup
    Detected potential configuration issues with used kernel:
    CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE: is set, recommended to disable and switch to FB_EFI or
    FB_VESA as it currently may be broken with >=kernel-5.18.13 + NVIDIA:
    https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/341
    (feel free to ignore this if it works for you)

    Though, I got same note compiling nvidia-drivers-470.182.03 and kernel boot normally showing text.

    I don't use EFI on these systems.
    So make me wonder if has all to do with the nvidia-driver.

    Is your framebuffer device showing in /dev? It should be called /dev/fb0,1,2..... If yes could you post the output of
    $ dmesg | grep fb0

    Interesting, the kernel is not showing anything about the framebuffer
    device fb0. Could you check if in /dev there is a framebuffer device? There should be a file called fb0 or fb with another number.
    Can you also print the output of:

    $ dmesg | grep fbcon

    This would be to check the kernel output if it tries to set a device for outputting kernel messages to a framebuffer device.

    I think there is an option missing in your kernelconfig. Did you build your
    own kernel or are you using a binary or similar?

    Is this possibly a grub setting? Check /etc/default/grub or whatever
    it might be on your system and look at

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    If that's there then remove the word 'quiet' and
    run sudo update-grub or whatever is appropriate
    for your system to set up the change.

    GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 was there before and it run perfectly find with older kernel: linux-5.10.103-gentoo
    Just after upgrading to kernel-6.1.19 it happened

    Interesting, the kernel is not showing anything about the framebuffer device fb0. Could you check if in /dev there is a framebuffer device? There should be a file called fb0 or fb with another number.
    Can you also print the output of:

    $ dmesg  | grep fbcon

    This would be to check the kernel output if it tries to set a device for outputting kernel messages to a framebuffer device.

    I think there is an option missing in your kernelconfig. Did you build your own kernel or are you using a binary or similar?

    As a screen reader user, that's a huge amount of material to listen to scrolling by fast. It is useful to know that a system is talking as it
    comes up, but I get more from dmesg after the boot process finishes since
    I can do so in an organized fashion.

    What setting is the kernel actually being told to use for screen
    resolution? What is the output of cat /proc/cmdline.

    This sounds like it could be something to do with kernel modesetting.

    GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 was there before and it run perfectly find
    with older kernel: linux-5.10.103-gentoo Just after upgrading to

    This sounds like it could be something to do with kernel modesetting.

    I'm getting:
    cat /proc/cmdline
    BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-6.1.19-gentoo root=PARTUUID=33fd3594-68f7-e143-842a-cdade6d25e34 ro

    Have similar output like on my other systems.

    Wold removing from grub : GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32
    solve the problem. I think it would go to default mode: 640x480

    That sets the resolution for the GRUB menu. If you can see that but the
    kernel boot messages don't display, you may find adding nomodeset to the
    boot options helps. More info at
