For more detailed info about that please see bug #1911614. This was a fresh install of Ubuntu using the 20.04.1 media. During install I chose to download updates as well as installing 3rd party drivers. Towards the very end of the install I was warned that nvidia-340 installation couldn't complete successfully followed by a message that other issues regarding updates or removal of unneeded packages may be encountered. Below is a detailed list of the various boot processes but the logs may also show several aborted boot processes where I hit Ctl+Alt+Del after failing to get the grub menu to appear during boot. Initial boot resulted in a black screen with an occasionally blinking cursor. I mean I'd see the cursor blink maybe every 20 to 30 seconds. And I couldn't bring up a TTY - at least not that I could see. Second boot I added the nomodeset boot parameter to the 5.8 series kernel. Still just a black screen but I was able to pull up a TTY and sudo reboot. Third boot I added nomodeset to the 5.4 series kernel and this time I got stuck in a log-in loop. I had selected auto-login during installation. Fourth boot I went for the 5.4 series kernel recovery mode, then enabled networking, and stumbled around in the terminal trying to figure out what nvidia packages were installed. After I figured out what was installed I purged nvidia-340 followed by apt autoremove and reboot. Success! The 5.8 series kernel booted with no intervention :^) So specific to this bug it's just that the nvidia driver failed to install properly but the real root of the problem is that Focal should not be getting 5.8 series kernel updates (reference bug #1911614). I also noticed on my daily driver that all of the 5.8 series kernel updates have shown up as "other updates", or at least none of them have shown up as security updates so I'm considering this a potential security problem and I'll let those who know what they're doing weigh in on that.
