On Marvel (EV7) systems whose SRM console is serial, no VGA hose is set, so marvel_ioremap() finds no hose for 0xb8000 and returns NULL. vgacon_startup() then probes video memory through that NULL pointer and oopses in console_init(): Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000000000 pc is at vgacon_startup+0x174/0x910 VGA_MAP_MEM() is ioremap() on Alpha and powerpc and can fail. Treat failure like a failed probe and fall back to the dummy console. If a VGA card is present, locate_and_init_vga() still switches to vgacon once PCI is up.
