I'm trying to use GRUB2 to boot Android-x86.  The following menu entry works fine on a ThinkPad 20FR but not 20UB (which it just boots to Android command-line).

menuentry "Android" --class android-x86 {                                                                                             savedefault
    set root='(hd0,msdos5)'
    linux /android-9.0-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0
    initrd /android-9.0-r2/initrd.img
}

This is the screen I see when booting the ThinkPad 20UB; no GUI (though using ls I see it logged-in to Android-x86).  How can I debug/fix this?

Either the CPU does not support SSE4.2 or the GPU not supported by open source mesa drivers.

The laptop is only three years old so of course has SSE4.2 and I think drivers work for GPU because it had graphics during installation.
