OK, then let's try something different: - Remove blacklist again, run mkinitrd to rebuild initrd - Reboot without nomodeset, but also remove quiet option. And add plymouth.enable=0 drm.debug=0x0e boot options, too. If this makes the system stalled, check whether it's really a crash or it's just a blank screen. It'd be best if you can remote-access to this machine. If not, maybe try like: ctrl-alt-F1 ctrl-alt-delete to reboot. If the machine reacts with the sequence, it means that it's alive. Then you can see journalctl -b-1 to get the previous log.
