Comment (by luroh):

 The ticket is becoming quite big but that's ok for now, once we have found
 enough substantial clues to work with we can close this one and summarize
 the findings in a new ticket. We're not yet out of ideas. In fact, having
 only 'safe mode' working often points to some driver or server causing the
 problem. My suggestion would be to go back to testing the latest nightly,
 trying the following:

 1. In the boot menu, instead of 'safe mode', select 'fail-safe video mode'
 (VESA) and pick a suitable resolution. The video corruption issues
 reported earlier could indicate there being something wrong with the video
 driver.

 2. 'safe mode' prevents a bunch of servers from starting at boot. Boot
 into 'safe mode' and then try starting them manually one after the other
 (you'll find them in boot/system/servers). I have attached a picture of
 the default running servers.

 3. Try disabling everything you don't need in BIOS (network interfaces,
 USB?, CDs, HDDs...) and see if you can boot without 'safe mode'.
