Uhm... Sorry for that, I seem to have triggered some keyboard shortcut. To continue:

One more interesting observation. I tried to boot 4.18.0-14 without splash screen. For this I edited the entry (using "e" in grub) to removed the lines load_video gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode and also the paramters "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel commandline. The last line that was written to the screen was [ 3.094622] fb: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA after that, the computer continued booting but the screen stayed blank. The BUG entrie and call trace (etc.) appear a few lines after that in the dmesg output.
