I don't really know what information I should be reporting about my
hardware. My first guess is that the output of 'lspci -v' relating to
the video device might be useful, so here it is:

if 00 [VGA controller])

Title:
Hang on boot after 'fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA'
Status in linux-signed-oem-5.14 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with HWE kernels. The 5.11 kernel stream has
been working fine for me (and supported the network device on my
reasonably recent PC, which 20.04's default kernel didn't). But the
5.13 and 5.14 kernels all hang on boot.
If I edit the GRUB boot commands to let me see the boot messages, the
hang occurs immediately after printing the message
[ 1.044456] fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA
I can boot this kernel fine if I add 'nomodeset' to the kernel command
line. But then I get unusably low screen resolution. Instead, my
workaround is to manually select a 5.11 kernel from the GRUB menu on
every boot.
I'm not able to provide a full set of kernel messages from a failed
boot attempt, because of course the kernel doesn't boot to a point
where I can save them to a file. But I attach a screenshot of the last
screenful of messages before the hang, in case those are useful. I'll
also attach dmesg logs from a successful boot of the 5.14 kernel with
nomodeset, and from a boot of the 5.11 kernel which gives me full
functionality.
