OpenSUSE Install :: No Video After Boot With IBM X3650 And Embedded ES1000 Display Adapter?

I was wondering if anyone else ran into and issue with 11.3 with an IBM x3650 server using the embedded graphics card. As a reference this exact machine was working under 11.2. I am aware that there were significant changed in how video works in 11.3.

While installing and during the initial start of the operating system I can see graphical output, OPEN SUSE logo and such.

During the boot process the screen goes blank. The server is still running and I am able to ssh to the machine, but there is no access to the console.

Below is a segment of the /var/log/boot.msg that shows some errors. I can provide more logs if that would assist in tracking this down.

I did a quick google search on ES1000 and i2c and saw the same errors reported with Ubuntu version but nothing for OPENSUSE. There seemed to be a bug that was fixed in that kernel.

This is a new install and the machine is not yet in production so I have the option to experiment with it a bit.
