Title:
  "Fast Boot" BIOS option on HP EliteBook 8560w breaks graphics outside
  of X

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is on an HP EliteBook 8560w with a Quadro 1000M. With nvidia-319,
  instead of Plymouth, all I see is purple (same colour as GRUB) on the
  top part of my screen and the BIOS splash screen on bottom, until X
  starts and lightdm comes up. When I try to switch to a VT, all I see
  is a black screen with a purple strip at the top, but input works
  since I can reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del or even log in and run commands
  without being able to see what I'm doing.

  With nvidia-310 on the same system everything is normal and Plymouth
  and VTs work.
