I notice from the bug report that you say

"When booting, I can also see some messages (something like BIOS not supported),
these messages do not end up in the kernel log, and they scroll away too fast.
How can I get hold of them?"


Does "dmesg" not give you any further information

Also, have you tried with the "no_timer_check" boot option?
