Perhaps I should be more accurate.
The machine freezes when booting and I have to power off (Sys-Rq and
other key combinations do not help). The last line shown on the screen
(with "quiet" removed from the kernel boot stanza) differs. If it
helps I can run a series and report the final lines. However, I am
able to boot with "nomodeset" added to the boot parameters.

I attached the output when started with "nomodeset" as kernel boot
parameter. The screen resolution is pretty bad (1024x768) compared to
the resolution when running kernel 3.5.
Please let me know if you need any other information, I am happy to
provide what's needed.
Best regards,
Andi
