Bug Description

Kernel 4.4.0-108-generic fails to boot on one particular x86-64 machine I have here. The screen goes blank (backlight is on), no cursor visible, no reaction to keyboard (CapsLock/NumLock/Ctrl+Alt+Del/Alt-SysRq-S,U,B all do nothing), no reaction to power button (unless I hold it down for like 10 seconds, which turns off the machine).

If I choose rescue mode in GRUB, I see a truncated call trace (attached). Shift+PageUp does not work, so I can't see the beginning.
