(Get the code!)
The issue here seems to be the "splash" boot option
If I remove it then booting to the live session or installer works fine, no need for nomodeset, no video degradation at all.
Noticed this also recently when try to boot to an eariler kernel from grub. With the default boot options was more often than not getting a degraded unity-greeter that was unusable. Same thing - removing splash & all was fine
From a user perspective - I don't even see the complete boot line on the live cd. It ends with splash --
Fotunately splash was visible so it could be removed.. I wonder if some hardware may not even see splash ..??
