Explanation and workaround:

You can check to see if the full graphics driver is installed in early
boot by running something like:

  lsinitramfs -l /boot/initrd.img-* | grep i915

It should be missing and print nothing, which is by design ever since:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/24.004.60-1ubuntu6

because we're trying to optimize disk space since:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/0.142ubuntu23

You can somewhat undo that and go back to having the full graphics
driver installed in early boot by editing /etc/initramfs-
tools/initramfs.conf and change:

  MODULES=most

to

  MODULES=dep

and then run:

  sudo update-initramfs -u

This will likely make the initramfs smaller despite adding the full
graphics driver. This is because it will also REMOVE all the kernel
drivers from early boot that the system wasn't using. So the risk then
is that you can't change hardware without remembering to revert to
MODULES=most first.
