Hi.

Booted as expected on ThinkPad T420.
Fixed with descrete (nvidia) GPU, CPU internal GPU is disabled.
Both UEFI and Legacy (CSM) boot are enabled.

 UEFI first  : Boot on UEFI mode. [Confirmed efifb is used.]
 Legecy first: Boot on CSM mode.  [Confirmed vt(vga) is used.]

UEFI boot is much faster than legacy (CSM) boot.

Is firmware version needed?
