Also, does the attached patch help? irqpoll doesn't make any difference on cold boot or reboot (just adding irqpoll to kernel boot line, right?). The attached patch does not change anything (except this: ahci 0000:00:0a.0: controller can't do PMP, turning off CAP_PMP as you can see in the dmesg parts below).

This failure has been with all kernels and bios versions I ever tried. I only added it to show that I tried different bios settings. With irqpoll the Interrupt reported changes from 218 to 315 (but this might be caused by the different kernels). But irqpoll does not help - and with the appropriate kernel-panic because no root-fs found. I can do some more (re)boots to check that. Thanks for looking into this.
