I am rather sure this one is a variation of bug #1814555 for which an update should be available soon. Marking as duplicate now but if the 4.18.0-15.16 does not help, you can revert that. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1814555 Ubuntu boot failure. 4.18.0-14 boot stalls. (does not boot) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815152 Title: kernel hangs on boot after "fb: switching to inteldrmfb from VESA VGA" Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A few days ago, I let update-manager upgrade my kernel from 4.18.0-13 to 4.18.0-14. Since then, my system is unable to boot. It freezes after printing fb: switching to inteldrmfb from VESA VGA but before it gets around to asking me the passphrase for my encrypted main partition. (At first I thought it was a problem with cryptsetup because it never got to that prompt, but now I'm pretty sure it's something to do with changing video mode.) However, if I use the grub menu to select the older 4.18.0-13, the system boots just fine. It looks very much like a bug introduced between 4.18.0-13 and 4.18.0-14. Additionally, if I boot 4.18.0-14 in maintenance mode, the kernel modesetting does not happen, and the system boots just fine. (Except for the 1980s-style low-res video, that is.) This seems like good evidence that it's a problem with setting the video mode. I'll test with some mainline builds, but I want to get this bug report opened before I start rebooting. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu13.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=fb24f9f1-0e89-4ef6-a88a-fb9fc5d776c7 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-09-05 (155 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) IwConfig: enp2s0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
