Hi,
I have an issue with kernel version 6.9.3 and up (at least up to 6.9.7) where the screen blanks right at boot and becomes unresponsive when a second daisy chained display is connected (everything via Display Port). This affects an already configured system as well as the installer.
I tried booting with the second monitor off which works just fine but when I turn it on, the system crashes immediately:

I have seen similar topics which either have this issue with an Nvidia GPU or have been closed prematurely.
I can boot the system with the kernel parameter nomodeset set but this only results in mirrored displays and poor performance.
Everything works just fine when using kernel-default 6.8.9 hence I had locked the kernel version to that. Thus I am guessing that something between version 6.8.9 and 6.9.3 has changed that affects me in this situation.
I hope someone can help me debug this as I am not that experienced with that territory.
