I am having exactly the same issue as this on two brand new Dell PowerEdge R360 which I am setting up for the first time. This server is also certified for use with 14.04 LTS http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201207-11432/

I tried to apply Zoltan's hack but ended up with a system that won't boot. I guess this is something to do with the fact that Grub is using the framebuffer otherwise I can't see how the changes would stop even a text screen appearing.

In the end I installed 12.04 which works almost flawlessly (resizing windows is still painfully slow). However given these are new servers I would like to start them off with the latest LTS.

Zoltan if you read this please could you give any hint why we are getting different results with the hack?
