Quick update: I turned off “quiet splash” in grub so I could see the boot
information in the background.
It appears that the machine is hanging on:
[ 3.713332] fb: switching to inteldrmfb from VESA VGA
I assume that’s what’s happening in the background when the machine hangs
at the purple screen.
I hope this helps. Any known fix for this issue?
