It's like it hangs before the kernel console system even starts. Anything else to try? Ove

Package: src:linux Version: 4.8.15-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system I'm still stuck with linux 4.6 on this laptop. Both the current 4.7 and 4.8 images just hangs on "Loading initramfs". There aren't any further messages. It has similarities to #841883, but I'm submitting a separate report just in case. (After all, perhaps 4.8.7-1 fixed the issue for that submitter, but it certainly didn't for me.) I tried using "earlyprintk=vga" like suggested in #841850, but it had no effect. Maybe that option doesn't work if grub2 boots in graphics mode, but I'm not sure how to disable that without causing other boot errors. Maybe you have some ideas? Not sure what other information would be useful from me. I couldn't use reportbug because it currently seems broken (crashes while collecting information).
