I have a related issue. I did a clean install (previously had Linux Mint 19.04) and I'm not able to reach login screen unless I add `nomodeset` to the kernet parameters. However, after adding `nomodeset` it appears that my graphics driver never loads and I cannot change display brightness nor use a second display (the second monitor is never recognized). If I boot without nomodeset option, the second monitor indeed works (splash screen shows on both monitors) but it's stuck right there.
