Slow Boot with Kernal Error : drm_kms timeout error...

So I am getting all these time out errors on boot and stuff that is slowing my boot to a crawl as I wait for them to time out... I have found a number of threads saying to edit my grub...

The solution is to edit the file /etc/default/grub and modify the entry from: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"    to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=SVIDEO-1:d"

but doesn't this just hide the problem and not fix it? Is doing this the correct way to go about this.. or should I find another solution... maybe uninstall xserver-xorg-video-intel or something?

I'm am using a fresh install of BunsenLab on a old HP Notebook from 2013, HP Compaq 6710b Notebook

(I'm a noob user, if you think you are explaining to slowly, you're not!)

Re: Slow Boot with Kernal Error : drm_kms timeout error...

I ended up doing the grub loader thing AND removing "xserver-xorg-video-intel" boot is now pretty fast considering the laptop is 10 years old and has 2GB ram.....

Is this the correct way to fix this?
