Bug Description

[ 14.900826] failed to evaluate ATIF got AE_BAD_PARAMETER

There is screen corruption starting on grub - it appears as gray box when loading the system, even if you do not go to grub it appears every boot a gray box with no text, then there is too much flicker during boot and some after the desktop environment is loaded, the way to reproduce it reliably when the DE is loaded is to go to system settings > screens and it flickers every time you hit the button detect screens.

Since it occurs before the desktop comes up, it's not X. Might be the kernel graphics drivers or some such, but without logs it can't be certain.
