The minimum size for a new stack (512 bytes) setup for arch/x86/boot components when the bootloader does not setup/provide a stack for the early boot components is not "enough". The setup code executing as part of early kernel startup code, uses the stack beyond 512 bytes and accidentally overwrites and corrupts part of the BSS section. This is exposed mostly in the early video setup code, where it was corrupting BSS variables like force_x, force_y, which in-turn affected kernel parameters such as screen_info (screen_info.orig_video_cols) and later caused an exception/panic in console_init(). Most recent boot loaders setup the stack for early boot components, so this stack overwriting into BSS section issue has not been exposed.
