Actually, just `nomodeset` seems to work. Sometimes booting to GUI can take up to 10 minutes, so it might be I gave up just trying `nomodeset` previously and added `video=uvesafb` and re-tried.
Hi Iku-Tulo, one more thing, could you confirm that `nomodeset` alone
without video=uvesafb really is not enough?
