You might be seeing nothing because of the distro splash screen, so
you could try removing any boot options like "silent splash quiet
rhgb" and adding "debug ignore_loglevel" and maybe "vga=0xf07" (to get
more text on the screen).  If you learn anything that way, maybe you
could collect a dmesg log from the newest working kernel and a digital
photo of the broken one for comparison.
