I have confirmed a second time that both kernels from comment #69 allow the system to show a display properly:

Confirmed good

Confirmed good

My process was to boot a vanilla system with 'nomodeset xforcevesa' and vesa in xorg.conf just to get a display, then install the new kernel and remove these parameters from /etc/default/grub, update-grub, and remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Rebooted, checked /proc/cmdline for removal of above params, confired vesa driver not in use.
