Elisabeth, I checked and I'm sure the kernels are properly identified. Before I
used grub, now rEFInd to run kernels with initramfs.img and the result is the
same. Then if I edit kernel parameters and add i915.modeset=0 to the same entry
in grub or rEFInd there is no black screen and the system reaches the login
prompt.

Jim Turner, I checked both debian and archlinux configuration and could not
find anything on fastboot. In particular debian's /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
is empty. On the other hand archlinux does not have initramfs-tools. Should I
look for 'fastboot' string exactly?
