Nothing at all.

... and the same parameters for 4.7?

*Nothing* is logged after that?

This still doesn't get me past the "loading initrd image" GRUB prompt.

What's the kernel command line?

Please also get a kernel log, by replacing the 'quiet' parameter on the
boot command line with 'earlyprintk=vga'.

Bug#841700: linux-image-4.7.0-1-686: upgrade from 4.7.6-1 to 4.7.8-1 prevents booting; freezes during initrd loading

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.7.8-1
Severity: important

After upgrading from 4.7.6-1 to 4.7.8-1 this host cannot boot under kernel 4 
anymore. The host freezes while loading the initrd image. GRUB displays 
"loading linux-image", followed by "loading initrd-image" and then become 
unresponsive.  By comparison, launching kernel 3.16 from the GRUB menu, kernel 
messages start appearing within a few seconds of the "loading initrd-image" 
GRUB message.
