Aha, I've found a work-around for the problem described in my previous post (#3). The goal is to load the `i915` driver before loading plymouth.

Create file in `/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top` named "load-intel". (any name would suffice, just make sure that the name comes before "plymouth". "paaa" would be ok, "pzzz" not.)

Next, set the permissions to 755 and update the ramdisk by running `sudo update-initramfs -u`.

This has to be done once. If it did not work, remove the file and run `sudo update-initramfs -u` again.

A single command that does the above:

printf '#!/bin/sh\n# Workaround bug #770371\nmodprobe i915\n' |\
sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/load-intel >/dev/null\
&& sudo chmod 755 /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/load-intel\
&& sudo update-initramfs -u
