Chris Wilson also reported boot failures on several Chromebooks:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/161160687463.28991.354987542182281928@build.alporthouse.com

I presume serial console is not an option, so if you could boot with
earlyprintk=vga and see if there is anything useful printed on the screen
it would be really helpful.
