I thought I'd chime in with another data-point: - Lenovo ThinkPad T480s - Normal BIOS - Vanilla Linux kernel(s) - kernel v5.15.16 boots fine; everything after seems to hit this bug - Turning off bluetooth in BIOS seemed to get boot further - Turning off wifi in BIOS allows me to boot
The spec sheet tells me it has a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 card, so I guess it's something to do with that. I don't know if this is an upstream kernel bug or something to do with distros specifically? I hope this helps narrow things down. Luckily my laptop is just used as a desktop, and I have ethernet, so I can just keep Wifi disabled. -- Katherine
