Sorry to keep badgering on this... I don't mind doing the
experimenting.

1 point; The kernel line already has console=graphic

So first I tried just adding '[...] -B console=text'
 Then . . . . . . . . . . .  '[...] -B console=force-text'
 Then I tried removing `console=graphic' and putting 
                             '[...] -B console=text'
 in its place.

There was a slight change from what has been happening.  In all three
cases above the progress graphic appears but the heavy white line is
not there... and no red appears, a short pause, maybe 15 seconds, then
spontaneous reboot.
