The ASUS TUF A15 freezes at the default resolution shortly after the
loader hands over -- screen dark, Caps Lock dead -- and it is the only
machine here with an I2C-HID touchpad, which the driver added in the same
release now probes at boot. "Touchpad driver: on/off" in the F8 menu
answers whether it is the cause on the machine itself, through a new
SCHBOOT_OFF_FLAGS byte the kernel checks before starting the driver.
A verbose boot now prints each step of the probe before taking it, so if it
is the cause, the last line on the screen says which step.
Also: S in the menu wrapped at five entries whatever the count.
