I just tested the "blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau" and the
"nouveau.modeset=0" separately and both of them the machine booted off
the USB stick. I had a live image running 4.12 kernel so I will test
today's images (with 4.13 kernel) and report back.
Here is my dmidecode just in case anybody wants to confirm the type of
machine I am testing on especially that some of you couldn't boot it
with the above modeset mods to the kernel boot prompt.
