A lot of distros set the 'quiet' option to _keep_ the kernel from
spewing messages at boot. Ubuntu sets "quiet splash", for instance.
Going into the grub menu and killing the 'quiet' and replacing it with
'debug' is a good place to start. earlyprintk=vga can also help if
things are still blank at that point. I thought we used to have an
earlyprintk=efi, but it seems to have vanished at some point.
But, you've got a bit of oddball hardware. It's from the _far_ extreme
end of 32-bit-only hardware. The fact that it had Windows on it isn't a
great sign. There could be a BIOS bug that trips Linux up but Windows
is perfectly happy with. There was definitely a sad period of time
where folks were not interested in fixing issues like that.
