You beat me to it.
I can confirm your observation. I was set to post the draft below:
I updated my Rawhide 24-hours ago. Since then, I lost textual output.
I can see the GRUB menu and the Plymouth screen. After those, no texts
show up any more -- only the blinking cursor remains. I can tell that
there is activity on the machine because the cursor keeps moving around
(changing lines like it is printing out stuff, only I can't see any
texts). Some commands execute as expected (without visuals, that is).
For example, "clear" sends the cursor back to the top-left corner of
the screen; but I do not see the text while typing. The phenomenon is
strange.
So, I went on to download the latest rawhide ISO
(Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-Rawhide-20210424.n.0.iso). The installation
went fine (graphics and all). However, after installing, I am back to
the same phenomena. This behaviour implies that one or more recent
packages in rawhide repositories have bugs. Has anyone experienced
this recently? Perhaps I should investigate further.
Regards
Onyeibo

Hi,
I ran a system upgrade late last night and at reboot noticed a major
problem with tty (possibly).
I run this system with the multi-user target active, which means I
get a text based invitation to login and have to start X manually.
This is NOT a new change.
Instead of seeing text "printed" on the screen, I see nothing. It's
like the text is invisible. This situation happens near the time of
the font change for the various boot messages. After this change,
nothing appears except for a blinking "text" cursor. This happens
with and without the "nomodeset" boot command line operand present.
All the ttys are affected so I doubt that it's an X problem. Hitting
enter acts like I entered a blank userid. I visualize logging in and
then starting X. This works and I get an X session, windowmaker in my
case. ALL the other ttys behave the same... no characters appear
except for the cursor. I don't see anything obvious in the output of
"journalctl -x -b0".
This system is at the "latest" Fedora 35 (x86_64) upgrades installed.
I'm kinda lost as to just where this problem "lives". Any/all help,
hints, tips, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
George...
