Comment 8 for bug 1873965

This offending package for bug is proving very difficult to pin down. I have tried to sequentially regress all the packages that the recovery kernel boot are likely to use back to their eoan versions on a 20.04 installation. In each case, I reinstalled the kernels afterwards to insure that the initrd.img files were full regenerated and reinstalled. The installed packages from the following have been regression tested...

plymouth
busybox
udev
kmod
grub
initramfs
libklibc

and none of these eliminate the breakage in nomodeset under 20.04 on a Mac ROMed GTX680.

The only 'workaround' that I have found is to append 'nouveau.modeset=1' after 'nomodeset' in grub's recovery kernel entry.
