Just for kicks I booted all kernels installed on this machine
(all prior experimentation was done under 4.10) -- the
console did not get properly configured under any of 4.3,
4.6, or 4.9.
I did manage to have parallelism detection kick in once though:

so at least we got this right, technically :-)
These boots were under slightly heavier load: two external
USB mass storage devices being online during the entire
reboot cycle, one of which acts as backup swap while the
other is a backup device being hit by another machine over
the network as soon as the problem machine reaches network
target.
