Eric, I'll close this LP as dup of #1879987 - seems it's the same issue. I'll try also the Debian release top see what's different there...we can comment in the other bug about Debian status and what are the differences.

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: kernel get stucks at boot if console=ttyS* is specified in the kernel cmdline and that serial HW isn't available on the system. Reproduced with: 4.4 (from Xenial), 4.15 (from Bionic), 5.4 (native, Focal) and 5.7-next (mainline) Removing the non-existent 'console=ttyS*' parameter fixes the situation. I tested it using KVM/qemu, but it has been brought to my attention that it was reproducible in VMware as well. I think it is safe to say that it is unlikely to be specifics to a certain virtualization technology type. Didn't test on baremetal yet.
