Summary0007458: boot without any video at all
Description

since my kali upgrade to kernel vmlinuz-5.14.0-kali2-amd64,
kali on my laptop has video issues: black screen or white-ish flickering screen.

not fixed in vmlinuz-5.14.0-kali4-amd64

kernel log:
Nov 23 19:50:47 kali kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] ERROR CPU pipe A FIFO underrun
maybe related to this issue??

Steps To Reproduce

100%
need to boot previous kernel in grub boot menu to get working system
(previous kernel : vmlinuz-5.10.0-kali9-amd64)

Sorry, mistake in "Additional Information" : uname is from kernel version before the update that broke the system. (5.10)
Kernel log is from failing boot however.

so I tried also to delete 'quiet splash' in grub and replace it with 'i915.modeset=0'
this also "fixes" the video issue that I have.

summary:
so far 2 workarounds:
1) plug-in usb-C/DP external monitor
2) kernel parameter i915.modeset=0
