Description:
After upgrading to kernel 4.14.3-hardened, at boot the console screen has a white background with light gray characters that are barely readable. After X starts, the problem disappears. But if you don't start X, it stays that way. Rolling back to 4.13.6-hardened fixes the problem. Additional info: $lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Sorry for the delay. The PSU died on this PC and I had to get a new one shipped.
I tried with vanilla 4.14.4 and it has the same problem, although the console text is now darker.
try various module option, if all the previous still fails bisect between 4.13 and 4.14 do have full backups if you do
due to a data corruption regression affecting at least bcache.
Going through 4.13 to 4.14 as I noted already there is a data corruption bug so you would need full backups incase.
A forum thread is probably easier to get advice on how to bisect or try and see if there is a work around.
If you want to report it upstream https://bugs.freedesktop.org Product: DRI Component: DRM/Radeon
or https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Product: Drivers
The arch package maintainers will not help as it is not a packaging and integration issue.
