Note that it will log errors with EE at the front.  This is where the
errors start:

"Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration."  I have many
times seen and dreaded that message.

I can't decode the above into the root cause of the problem.
Hopefully someone else will be able to do so.  Does anyone else on
this list have any hints here?

I fear the problem is the newer Linux KMS and DRM interfaces which
obsoleted a lot of hardware.  I have been hit by that problem myself.
Whereas older kernels worked perfectly supporting the hardware newer
kernels have dropped support and broken my systems.

I suggest booting one of the previous kernels and seeing if that
helps.  If not then try the newest kernel available, possibly a
backports kernel.  If not then I suggest trying to boot with the
kernel command line option "nomodeset" and see if it improves things.
Plus any better hints that others might supply.

Bob
