I think you can get the scrolling boot messages by
pressing Esc when the rotating boot icon shows up.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I tried removing the quiet option, all I saw afrer that was 'Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)'
Not sure if that has anything to do with my laptop not being able to boot on newer kernels.

I will try setting the pcie_aspm=off and see if that will make the laptop crash less frequently

Yours sincerely

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I have tried all, but the laptop still crashes, even when I disable the power management in the BIOS :-(
My original issue with kernel not booting is still an issue.
So I guess that the next step is a re-install or a new laptop :-)

Youts sincerely

Can you do a CTRL-ALT-F2 and get a command prompt?
On some systems I manage, I get the same symptoms when doing a kernel update.
When your symptoms occur, I rerun the video driver install from the command prompt, and reboot, then it successfully comes back up again in X windows. (this is using an NVIDIA video card - on other cards your mileage might vary)

(edit) it would be good to confirm if the system is actually crashing, or if X windows is just failing to come up. If you can get into the system remotely using ssh, then it's not actually the OS crashing - it means X windows is failing to start.
