Not a regression. I started downloading last week, but only got it
booting from Grub2 this week. The boot messages end like this:

[ OK ] Started Login Service.
[ OK ] Reached target Multi-User.
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.
[ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.

...and then remains on console 1.

Doesn't help now, but it should help when I switch to Intel. I'll give
it a try tomorrow.

Thanks,
