Don't have this HW. But a quick search suggests adding "nomodeset" to the
boot parameters.
As I understand it, that could have a big impact on graphics
performance. I'll try it as a last resort, but currently I'm keeping a
working kernel (kernel-core-5.10.12-200.fc33.x86_64) and testing each
new one as it appears.
I filed a BZ at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1931065
which I see now has some comments.
