Public bug reported: When booting kernel 4.13, the display corrupts after grub boot menu. The problem persists with mainline kernel 4.14.13 but does not occur with kernel 4.10 or 4.4.
I'm running Xenial i386 on EEEPC. The kernel log shows "plane B assertion failure, should be off on pipe B but is still active". See attached dmesg excerpt.
