Yeah, just for the hack of it, try UEFI and see.

Fwiw, I have a HP folio 9470m laptop that I cannot boot with -CURRENT.
In legacy bios, I see loader spinner and screen goes blank, laptop
reboots itself. And sometimes it resets itself even before the
spinner. In UEFI, I see other failures. More details at
