Maybe I've not been patient enough - but I'd been waiting for quite some time
and the console was just scrolling this line on display - so I need to
turn-off the machine.
(After like a minute of this looping)

Well it's been connected to Lenovo docking station - so unsure what
bad cable you mean here.
(and AFAICT it seems to work quite well all the time).

You mean it's normal I get machine stuck in endless loop when I turn
on debugging ?
I though debug is there to debug the problem - not to add a new one ??
As this happened during suspend - I had no other option than to simply
turn off the machine.
