The hardware details:

The user tried various boot options with various results, not including successful boot. I’ve attached screenshots from the user, named with the options used.

ACK. Unfortunately, without any known workaround, there’s not much we can do about it :/

Hint for next time: write on the ticket what version of Tails this was about :)
