Problems with graphics while booting UBUNTU

Question

1. I have installed the minimal UBUNTU 15.04 - NO GUI and I DO NOT want it.
2. This Ubuntu has 3.19.0-49-generic kernel.
3. When the system boots with this kernel at the beginning I can see strange characters/letters/numbers - totally unreadable (see attachement). But after few seconds my screen is going black and nice, white, readable characters are displayed - so it works. Nevermind wrong beginning (see attachement).

4. After login I ran this command for you, to help me to discover something:

   sudo lspci | grep VGA

   00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 22b1 (rev 21)

   sudo lshw -C display

      resources: irq:119 memory:80000000-80ffffff memory:90000000-9fffffff ioport:f000(size=64)
   

BUT

5. I wanted a realtime kernel so I builded one - 3.18.25-rt23
6. I successfuly builded a new realtime kernel BUT my graphics goes wrong. While booting I can see unreadable characters/letters and later is my screen totally black. Linux is running because I can access to it thru serial console. Serial console is OK.

I do not want HD picture, I do not want the X server or similar. I want simple, stupid black window with white characters and VGA monitor and I cannot have it. I tried many options without success.

This is my actual /etc/default/grub file:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
GRUB_TIMEOUT=3
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for any help. On another PC I do not have strange characters/letters. But I need it on my Gigabyte N3050N-D2P board!

UPDATE: I think that this is only kernel problem. I tried to recompile kernel again with some settings in Graphics menu and it is better - I still have a black screen after booting but when it boots the display is flashing and I can see for a moment boot messages clearly. But monitor is flashing and then goes black again.

I attached a pictures from my booting screen:

Start of booting:

After few seconds with generic 3.19.0 kernel

Booting with 3.18.25 kernel: (Start like this):

And then just 2x flash with readable boot messages and then it is going black forever.

Answer 1

Ok guys... I build a 4.4.1 RT kernel and finally I have a nice, readable boot messages and console screen! BUT (why there is always BUT):

Graphics for example on alsamixer is really bad, could you tell me why?
