Comment 32 for bug 1953671

I also had this problem with VMWare and a 5.15.12 kernel, although technically the kernel did boot because I could get kernel output and log in over a serial console, it's just that VMWare showed a black screen. The workaround described at https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/uud5sx/comment/in5uqtr/ worked for me: I added initcall_blacklist=sysfb_init to the kernel command line (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT) and now it boots to the GUI without any trouble.
