Bug#922234: Stretch stuck after loading initial ramdisk

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Show all headers | View raw

I have the exact same problem on one of my servers.
To be precise, no boot problem with Debian kernels up to 4.9.0-7 
included.
But I encounter the same issue whith 4.9.0-8 and 4.9.0-9 : a blank 
screen with a blinking cursor just after the 'Loading initial ramdisk 
..." message.

What is really frustrating is that I couldn't find a way to have a 
message about what is happening. I tried all the 'break' parameter 
values on the kernel command line, I tried the debug parameter, I 
changed the rootdelay. Nothing but this blinking cursor.

The only workaround is acutally to remove firmware-misc-nonfree.
(I also try to use the backport version of this package with no luck...)

But this breaks some of the depencies of my setup, so I will just boot 
on 4.9.0-7 until this issue is solved.

I'll be very happy to help if you tell me how to generate any message 
during the boot.
