Elisabeth, Thank you also for your time!
1. I cannot change tty, Ctr-Alt-F2 or Alt-F2 does nothing. And there is no
response only power button helps to turn off the laptop. At the same time there
are no logs from those boot processes.
2. I added drm.debug=0xe to kernel 4.15, however still the same black screen
and the laptop is frozen. Since I removed kernel 4.4, as soon as I compile it
again I will send the results.

I have a question: since the last message I see for a short period of time
before the screen gets black is related to inteldrmfb, is it possible to force
my laptop to use nouveaufb or nvidiafb without setting i915.modeset=0, because
then xorg does not work?
