This bug recurred with the last two 20.04 Updater packages, starting mid-September. The initramfs upacking bug 1835660 recurred about the same time. Turning off the Ubuntu splash screen seems to avoid the problem, but when it doesn't (or until you realize that you have to make that change); the spinning logo hang forces a hard power down which seems to cause other problems and affects general stability.

This problem is not reproduced if using nosplash. I have installed 20.04 to this laptop. Thinkpad T480, i7, intel graphics. Clean install of 20.04 beta, not an upgrade. When booting from the install, the greeter screen is never reached if external monitors are connected at startup. I get the spinning ubuntu logo, and nothing more. I can not change to virtual terminals. The fsck step does not commence. In recovery mood, I can log in. With no external monitors attached, it works. I am used to having such problems with Nvidia graphics is involved, but this is not the case on this laptop. It has been happily running 18.04. External displays are recognised if they are connected after login. Also, when I edit /etc/default/grub so that it reads GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" (that is, splash disabled) it works fine with two external monitors attached.
