Tails 3.1+ do not start on Compaq Presario CQ60-214DX

a user reported that with most of Tails release he or she tested, the computer just reboots after the boot menu. no error is displayed, even by adding ‘debug nosplash’ to the boot command line.

the user’s computer is a Compaq Presario CQ60-214DX with a Mobile Intel GM45 Express GPU

the only Tails releases that do start completely are Tails 2.12 (kernel: 4.9.13-1~bpo8+1) and tails 3.0.1 (kernel: 4.9.30-2+deb9u2). if I’m not mistaking, these releases are the only one with thes kernel version, so I suspect that’s where the problem is.
