Re: [Bug 989793] Re: [nouveaufb, efifb] blank screen on startup, "Visual is FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR; not using graphics"
The nouveau driver is not very happy. I was just researching in FireFox and it hard locked! Only, Ctrl+Alt+SysReq+r and then Ctrl+Alt+Del worked after that (X server would not respond to Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace). Blank display during power down (monitor in standby).

I am pretty certain this PC (circa 2007) does not support EFI boot. The service manual does not mention it, and as far I can find out, only some Power Edge models have this. I have no special partition for EFI either. I only have standard EXT4 partitions for root home and swap.
