Hey. Thanks for the tip. I finally got around to capturing these long
entries. So, here they are:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/25529150/

I hope it helps. What you can see in it, are two consecutive boot-ups. The
first is without `nomodeset` and therefore fails (so I don't get any
display output) and the second is with `nomodeset` so I do get a usable
computer but no GPU acceleration.

What do the logs tell us, please?
