Thank you - it does boot now!

I notice that the font is different if I UEFI boot or BIOS boot. At the
point during boot (green kernel messages) when we switch to high
resolution, the bottom half of the screen looks randomly populated with
green and black pixels, then, presumably when xdm starts, the screen
goes blank. Reverting to BIOS boot all is well.

This is with a:

nouveau0 at pci9 dev 0 function 0: NVIDIA product 1180 (rev. 0xa1)
drm kern info: nouveau  [  DEVICE][nouveau0] BOOT0  : 0x0e4000a2
drm kern info: nouveau  [  DEVICE][nouveau0] Chipset: GK104 (NVE4)
drm kern info: nouveau  [  DEVICE][nouveau0] Family : NVE0

On the off-chance, I updated to a 21 January 2018 BIOS, so fairly
recent, and no change.


Cheers,
