Looking at the kernel version, this is not a Debian system so I'm not sure
how we can help here. But I would suggest attaching a serial console to
monitor what's happen during hardware initialization and boot so you
can maybe figure out what the problem is.
Not providing any log messages is asking us to look into our crystal balls
which we unfortunately forgot to bring to work.
