Public bug reported:
For all(as I know) Huawei servers, the vga adapter are embed in the iBMC
chips. Those server can install from ISO manually for 16.04.4 and screen
display normally. But for 18.04 ( tested both for daily and final
beta)version, the install screen is blur. One of tested server is Huawei
2855 v5, the certification link for 16.04 are
https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201707-25596/.
Below are key difference of dmesg. It seems might related with DRM.
