There are no /dev/sd* 

Meanwhile I've noticed something new.

Once in the about ten times I tried booting, it actually worked
(and systemd seems to be incredibly fast). 

In the other cases, there's an oops:

Booting the kernel.

[     ....  ] *pde = 00000000

etc.

AND:

The same thing can happen when booting from the install media, but it
seems less likely (one time in three or four).

Looks like some race condition.

I scanned the BIOS for any relevant options, but the only thing I 
found was an option to enable/disable 'legacy SATA0 support'. It
doesn't seem to make any difference.

I could if you really need it, but it's the unmodified one 
as installed. I checked it as suggested by the install guide,
but didn't find anything to change.
