not good. May you please edit the grub entries in the grub2 menu (with e), and edit the entry as following:

@@ -9,7 +9,6 @@
  menuentry 'Genode on NOVA' {
   insmod multiboot2
   insmod gzio
- multiboot2 /boot/boot_fb_simple/bender serial intel_hwp_performance serial_fallback
- module2 /boot/boot_fb_simple/hypervisor hypervisor iommu novpid novga serial logmem
+ multiboot2 /boot/boot_fb_simple/hypervisor hypervisor iommu novpid novga serial logmem
   module2 /boot/boot_fb_simple/image.elf.gz image.elf
  }

You may also try to remove the "iommu" and "serial" entry from the hypervisor line.

Cheers,

Alex.

Since none of the "simple" debug entries worked for you, the report_dump will neither work.

In case Sculpt OS comes up far enough, it would dump all logs kept in memory to your USB stick, which can be extracted afterwards from the USB stick. However, this would require another machine, where Sculpt OS boots up fine and you can configure it according to [0].
