Hello Ron,

I have the same problem on a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop running CentOS 6.10. I get a solid white rectangle in the upper left corner at boot. See the link below for suggested work arounds. I have not tried them yet so if you get one of the workarounds to work please let me know.

 Hope that helps,
