Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Freezes when X tries to load in bootup.
Need to turn accel off in nouveau, turning off splash or quiet have no effect.
============= X log ===========================
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

Would it be possible for you to boot without setting nouveau.noaccel=1 and then collecting the relevant logs? Sometimes VT switching still works, or you can SSH into the system even though X has frozen.
We've got reports of the NVac chips working fine with acceleration, so there's something different about your case. The logs when everything has failed might help us determine what.
