was the disk/partition clean or did you install on top of another installation?
the last Jessie linux kernel was updated a couple of months ago, I doubt they have left any Dell hardware out.
Newish is probably something made in 2016?

Two identical newish Dell desktops. Configured for non-legacy, UEFI-only booting. No Secure-Boot or Fast Boot.
Both fresh minimal installs of Jessie.
Every other boot results in a hang at "Initializing Ramdisk" just after grub, requiring holding the power button for 8 seconds to power off. Then power on, and it boots normally.
