Bug #12901 certainly is; and in the end I'm left with a frozen brown screen, even with 
video=ofonly; [ctrl]-[alt]-F1 does not seem to work. I'm not sure where to fill that, though.

I'm afraid that something is me ;) I was doing something along the lines of: 
 
mkdir /mnt 
mount -t hfs /dev/sda1 /mnt 
 
in order to get the dmesg on disk. I was finally able to send it remotly via scp.
