Ah, I forgot about the Mac's graphical early console.
So you don't get any output in between "console [tty0] enabled.
bootconsole disabled" and the initialization of macfb.
But there are several things that can go wrong there.
As the next line is "Calibrating delay loop...", it could be e.g. an
interrupt problem.
