[arch-general] Getting freeze on early start with linux 4.9-1 kernel.

[fredbezies]

Hello.

I'm facing an annoying bug with linux 4.9-1 kernel on my 6 or 7 years
old Toshiba Laptop. When I try to make it boot on with linux 4.9-1
kernel, it freeze right after loading initramfs.

4.8.xx kernel was working flawlessly. My eeePC (nearly 9 years old)
and my desktop computer (which is AMD based) are both starting with
linux 4.9.

I opened a bug : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52246

Here is my lspci. If someone can help me finding what is happening,
I'll be very happy :
