This can be addressed without reintroducing the problem from bug #839524
with three changes:
- drop the nvidia "proprietary-graphics-drivers" initramfs hook config.
- set 'alias nouveau off' in the modprobe blacklist file, *not* 'blacklist
nouveau'. (udev ignores module blacklisting by design!)
- add a fallback in the framebuffer initramfs script to try to load the vesafb
module if no other framebuffer has been loaded. This gives us fallback
behavior equivalent to what's used post-initramfs when cryptsetup is not
installed, and does not negatively impact booting when the vesa linear
framebuffer is unavailable (i.e., when booting with gfxpayload=text) other than
generating a warning message that vesafb can't be loaded.
This will ensure the nouveau driver will not be loaded in the initramfs
when nvidia drivers are installed, that a best effort is made to load
the vesafb driver from the initramfs where possible, and that other
functionality that keys on FRAMEBUFFER=y - keyboard map setting, brltty
support, and plymouth itself - does not regress.
