Ok I tried two kernel packages both with and without nomodeset enabled in the grub file, first tried the v4.11 image and specifically file named linux- image-4.11.0-041100-generic_4.11.0-041100.201705041534_amd64.deb. This gave me errors similar to the above including multiple "AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out" and a bunch of disk checks that kept failing. I then uninstalled the above package and tried a kernel image from drm-next and specifically package "linux- image-4.11.0-996-generic_4.11.0-996.201705122201_amd64.deb". Without nomodeset enabled in the grub config it provided the same errors as above. For both packages I simply used the command sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb. And to uninstall the first kernel I used sudo apt-get purge linux-image.....

When using an USB stick, plymouth hangs after some time. When using a text console to login instead of a graphical session, one can login, but sees how the console gets spammed with the following lines repeating itself frequently: [ XXX.XXXXXX] AMD-Vi: Event logged [ (usually once) [ XXX.XXXXXX] AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out (usually twice) When using nomodeset, things work fine, but I only get software rendering (I do not intend using the notebook as a loud heating).
