We seem to be in an unfortunate situation: booting without 'nomodeset' causes hangs when booting on some NVIDIA cards (6948c3ab807), but on the other hand adding 'nomodeset' prevents X from starting on other hardware (e.g. issue #10381 and my Thinkpad X250 with an integrated Broadwell GPU). Attempt to remedy this situation a bit by adding a separate entry in the ISOLINUX menu (with the non-'nomodeset' being the default).
