Bizarre. took out my old radeon r9 280 card and put the RX480 amdgpu back in and rebooted to a kernel which I had configured for amdgpu and booted with no issues, not needing modeset and xorg working fine and dandy. Never seen anything like this before. Bring back the days when you had a primary and secondary hard drives on a serial bus. Far easier when you have to configure your own IRQs. Thanks for the advice.
