Based on a lead from an Arch Linux blog post, I tried adding the i915 module to the initramfs. This could possibly lead to earlier initialization of the graphics device and it also seems consistent with the DragonFlyBSD "probe early" patch I linked to in my initial bug report which may have fixed the graphics problem in DragonFlyBSD (I cannot tell for certain if the graphics problem was fixed there due to another, unrelated problem, but the fix definitely allowed the boot to proceed further and the text did seem to switch to full screen resolution).
The update-initramfs operation failed on the v5.1-rc2 kernel because of two missing firmware files. The update-initramfs operation succeeded on the 4.x kernels I had installed, one of which is the hwe kernel (I believe). I verified the presence of the i915 module in the initramfs for those kernels using lsinitramfs. Unfortunately, booting with i915 in the initramfs on the 4.x kernels and without nomodeset did not solve the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821533 Title: failure to detect and use Intel 620 graphics pci id 3ea0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1821533/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
