ubuntu server 22.04 LTS - Installer Resolution not Supported

Question

Issue: Fresh new install using Server 22.04 LTS X86_64 ISO downloaded 2022/05/16 will boot installer into a 'Graphics Mode/RefreshRate' not supported by my monitors (3 VGA monitors tried) on a DELL R610 host with VGA output only.

I've edited Grub Command 'e' and changed the 'set gfxpayload=keep' to 'set gfxpayload=text' which helps on the kernel info logging, but when the Installer runs, it switches to a Resolution/Refresh Rate not supported by my monitors

Is it possible to issue grub command values to set it to good old safe settings like Server 20.04 LTS? (20.04 LTS Server boot to installer works ok on same silicon)

At GRUB2

Select Try or Install Ubuntu
Press Edit (e)
Add nomodeset to the linux line such that it looks as follows:
```
linux /casper/vmlinuz nomodeset ---
```
Press F10 (Boot)
Profit! (At least it gets you into the Installer)
