I've booted that image on my zbook 15.  I show in the boot that I can
deliberately load efirt.ko ... and it doesn't help.  I also show that I can
"type blind" after the system boots ... so everything but the screen is
working.

In case you can't quite make it out, I hit right cursor twice (move to the
"live cd" choice) and hit enter.  Then I type "root" enter and then
"reboot" ...

in the background.)
