Oddly, so far I have not found a Ubuntu mainline kernel build that doesn't show the problem.
5.3.18-050318-generic 5.4.0-050400-generic 5.4.25-050425-generic 5.4.28-050428-generic 5.6.6-050606-generic all produce the hang at loading the ramdisk when booting the recovery kernel with the default use of nomodesetunder Ubuntu 18.04. The stock 5.3.0-46-generic kernel installed by bionics updates doesn't have this problem. So I am guessing this problem must be either a dropped patch in the kernels used by Ubuntu 20.04 or a change in configuration options in the kernels between 18.04 and 20.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873965 Title: booting into recovery mode hangs under 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/1873965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
