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.
