Bug Description

Hi,

latest cloud image ( Daily Build [20230405] : https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/lunar/current/lunar-server-cloudimg-ppc64el.img ) , especially kernel 6.2.0-19-generic used, has the same issue as the
one I encountered on Debian : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033058 .
qemu vga output with fbdev gets stuck at kernel boot time while serial console looks ok till login prompt .

I guess it's going to propagate to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/lunar-live-server-ppc64el.iso soon.

I open this bug to monitor the upstream fix Cyril Brulebois proposed and hopefully get it into Ubuntu asap.

Thanks,
F.
