initrd could use framebuffer with no additionnal firmware so perhaps some graphical parameter is set or a nvidia script is in /etc/initramfs-tools/? In /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf you should have MODULES=dep Also check if /etc/modules-load.d/* contain some nvidia modules Reinstalling will do nothing if initramfs parameters/scripts are not changed before
