Fix "Unknown Chipset" with nouveau

Booting from a Linux installation disk with a newer graphics card might trigger an "Unknown Chipset" error from nouveau.

Add nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel options to fix it.

In UEFI Boot Mode it might also hang at "Triggering uevents", which is the same issue without the error message.

I saw that tails 6.6 exists, but I can't download it anywhere?
