Upstream thinks that this should be fixable by loading efifb first, to set things up for nouveau.

Could you please try booting *without* “nouveau.noaccel=1” or “quiet splash” and *with* “video=efifb”? So, replacing “quiet splash” with “video=efifb”? This should cause efifb to be loaded, which might initialise things enough that nouveau will work.

You shouldn't need to add “blacklist=vga16fb”, but if it doesn't work the first time please try adding the blacklist.

If this doesn't work, we'll resolve it by disabling acceleration in nouveau for your systems.
