Kernel driver in use: iosf_mbi_pci
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:22b1] (rev 21)
DeviceName: Onboard IGD
Subsystem: Dell Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [1028:0725]
Kernel modules: i915
VendorId: 8086
Chipset ID: 22b1
Then if we follow this link you will find out your chipset in the Eighth generation table which is HD Graphics 400 ... to be exact! which is supposedly supported under GNU/Linux and it looks like it has been supported since kernel 3.9
when you run: sudo lshw -C cpu
you should see the exact CPU ..

Loading
The Intel kernel module should load fine automatically on system boot.
If it does not happen, then:
- Make sure you do not have nomodeset or vga= as a kernel parameter, since Intel requires kernel mode-setting.
- Also, check that you have not disabled Intel by using any modprobe blacklisting within /etc/modprobe.d/ or /usr/lib/modprobe.d/.

I want you to try something , boot without nomodeset or any other parameter , when the screen goes black .. switch to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3 , you have consoles from F2 to F6 , F7 is desktop session with X running , now login with your username and passd , run the following commands :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel
after that , cd to /etc/modprobe.d $ cd /etc/modprobe.d , and cat the files in there to make sure the intel i915 kernel driver is not blacklisted ,
for example, in my system..
sary@tru:/etc/modprobe.d$ ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 Nov 30 2016 amd64-microcode-blacklist.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 Feb 7 18:27 dkms.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 154 Nov 10 2016 intel-microcode-blacklist.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 379 Jul 28 2016 mdadm.conf
sary@tru:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat intel-microcode-blacklist.conf
# The microcode module attempts to apply a microcode update when
# it autoloads. This is not always safe, so we block it by default.
blacklist microcode
if you see a line with : blacklist i915 in one of these files ,remove that line, or place a # at the begining of the line.
now , maybe it's a good idea to add i915 to /etc/modules , as we don't know yet as to why it's not loaded therefore you get a black screen for some reason..
so , got back to the /etc directory cd .. , and open the file with nano : sudo nano /etc/modules , type i915 in a separate line there , save by pressing Ctrl+x, select Yes , then hit enter.
Now reboot without nomodeset , sudo reboot
Do you still get stuck in a black screen..! if yes then we need to have a look at some logs..
