This is indeed empty, suggesting a BIOS boot, as I would expect from
an OS upgrade.  However, the dmesg memory buffer has probably
overflowed by now.

There's no mention of EFI there.  It must have been a BIOS boot.

I got the boot time with "who -b" and found the startup messages.
However, I don't know what to look for.

I suppose I should do an EFI boot to look in the places you suggest,
and to see if the graphics problem is fixed.
