i915 HDMI display turns off during boot after upgrade to 16.04

[Daniel Drake]

Ubuntu 15.10 was working fine, but on upgrading to 16.04, my HDMI display goes into low-power mode once the kernel starts booting.

Logging in over ssh I can see these errors in the kernel log:

[ 1.730599] i915 0000:00:02.0: No connectors reported connected with modes
[ 1.730607] [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes - going 1024x768

System is an Intel NUC DN2820FYK
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display [8086:0f31] (rev 0c)

Kernel version: linux-image-4.4.0-21-generic

Workaround: add video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60D to kernel parameters

Same problem in Linux nuc 4.6.0-040600rc6-generic #201605012031 SMP Mon May 2 00:33:26 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Daniel Drake, as per https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/78953 an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (0053). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.
