root@dv67:/boot# reboot

paused at
[ 0.560301] ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mo
hit power to continue.

carl@dv67:~$ dmesg | grep "Looking for DSDT in initramfs"
(nothing)

[ 0.684193] checking if image is initramfs... it is

cuz the pause comes before that happens.
