Ok. Any hints on where (and perhaps how) I should report the problem
with my laptop, in order for it useful enough so that anyone could help
me debug it?
I mean, there really isn't much detail to go on yet, and as long as the
machine doesn't boot, I don' t know how get any more debug info out of
it. I wouldn't wabt to file a PR with so this little content.

(I have reported it earlier, on either the -stable otr the -mobile
mailing list, but with this little information nobody responded, which
doesn't surprise me.)
