Description:
Boot freeze after "Loading initial ramdisk" line. System can't boot since I upgrade kernel from 4.7.6 to 4.8.2. 4.8.3 also freeze at same point. Curiously, 4.8 boot fine. - PC is 10+ year old DELL Latitude V740. - It is known to have problematic ACPI BIOS. - Kernel parameter acpi=off make no difference about freezing - Kernel parameter debug doesn't produce any output. Additional info: For reference I attach boot log (journalctl -b) on 4.8. Steps to reproduce: 1. power on 2. select kernel in grub 3. freeze after "Loading initial ramdisk" line was displayed. |

linux-4.8.4-1-x86_64
linux-4.8.3-1-x86_64
linux-4.8.2-1-x86_64
linux-4.8.1-1-x86_64
It works with linux-4.8-1-x86_64.
Boot log for the first version where this occurs (4.8.1-1-x86_64) attached.
I think a warning on the home page to not upgrade beyond 4.8-1 is warranted.
FS#51455.You can try with "ignore_loglevel earlyprintk=vga,keep" on kernel parametrers instead of "debug" on systems with BIOS, and try "ignore_loglevel earlyprintk=efi,vga,keep" on EFI to obtain some output from kernel at early boot.

Testing on an old Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop, ended up with this:
