Well the bug is still there but at least something in microcode code seems to
trigger too..

Also when it hangs it looks like this :

Will stay like this forever.. no trace or something.

The problem was vga=.. option ,  not the splash :)

There is what I get :

With dis_ucode_ldr there is some more output , with it will stay like this , nothing more.

Alo I disabled all 'VT-d' in BIOS .. it doesn't make any difference.
