Setup hangs at start of 2nd stage graphical setup

While I was able to install prior ReactOS ISOs (last tested summer 2021) on my Compaq 8510p notebook (with the SD card reader disabled),
reactos-bootcd-0.4.15-dev-3446-g30010a5-x86-gcc-lin-dbg.iso
cannot be installed on this machine any more. At the start of the 2nd stage graphical setup when "Devices are being installed", the machine suddenly freezes and never continues. I created videos showing this process both in "debug" and "screen logging" mode. In the latter case a "kdb>" prompt appeared at the stage where otherwise the setup did freeze.

For example the ISO below still worked well in this respect, so this clearly is a regression from within the 3 months between:
