To rc5 testers, on a runlevel 3 console, try:

setterm -blank force

Does your screen fail to restart after you press a key?

I do not run any splash like playmouth after grub so I can see kernel and systemd messages during boot. With rc5 the screen seems to be not initialized after grub so nothing is shown during boot until reach graphical desktop target.

The main problem is that console sessions accessed with Alt+Fx didn't work either because screen is not initialized...

Both things works in rc4.
