UPDATE: The module blacklist only works if the laptop is running on batteries. Attempting to boot while plugged in will not work, regardless of the module being blacklisted or not. UPDATE #2: After a couple more trials, I pinned down the issue to the laptop's firmware. Booting in Legacy mode worked without any modifications to the default boot arguments, so this may be a UEFI implementation issue on the manufacturer's side. |
