I tried booting in normal mode but with "nosplash debug" options, and it froze with lots of these messages:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: runlist 0 update timeout nouveau 0000:01:00.0: tmr: stalled at ffffffffffffffff
So it seems the freeze is caused by nouveau (the laptop has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050).
