I suspect your embedded controller together with ACPI irq handling, but
it is just guessing.

I presume you don't have serial output available?

May you please try some simple (non graphical) run scenario (usb_hid).
If this also already get stuck when you press your keys, can you please
setup the nova spinner setup for the nova kernel, see [0]. You will have
to boot in non-UEFI mode (either USB or if not working try via PXE).

Does some running spinner get stuck or become running at a high speed ?

If you need VGA text console output from Genode's side, you may try to
adjust my outdated commit of [1] - or maybe (never used it myself) try
to use [3] as mentioned in [2].

Good luck,

Alex.
