Thanks for the suggestion @kaihengfeng. I installed linux-generic- hwe-16.04-edge, which gave me a working 4.15.0-23-generic after a reboot.
The log from 4.13.0-45 failed at this point: [ 2.444002] DMAR-IR: IOAPIC id 10 under DRHD base 0xdfffe000 IOMMU 0 [ 2.500002] DMAR-IR: IOAPIC id 9 under DRHD base 0xfedc0000 IOMMU 1 [ 2.556002] DMAR-IR: IOAPIC id 8 under DRHD base 0xfedc0000 IOMMU 1 [ 2.560000] DMAR-IR: Enabled IRQ remapping in xapic mode [ 2.616002] Switched APIC routing to physical flat.
