while we are about to improve the atyfb, is it possible to fix the color
depth switching?
When I boot without a kernel arg I end up with 8 bit at console. I can't
increase the color depth afterwards with fbset, and mol crashes when it
tries to do that. When I specify atyfb:cmode:24 everythings works fine
and I can switch down to 8 and back to 24 and mol starts fine.

Does it also crash when you increase the color depth with fbset?

I don't use MOL (I don't have MacOS), but I never saw this problem.
