Bug Description

When booting into Ubuntu with Linux kernels versions 5.4.0.* (checked 5.4.0.42, 5.4.0-48 and two uncertain previous versions, something like 5.4.0.40 and 5.4.0.38).

The laptop stays at a black screen with the following printed (disclaimer: typed manually from a low quality photo of the screen---typos and mistakes expected):

Didn't find any screenshot attachment. But could you try booting with following kernel parameters?

  debug initcall_debug earlycon=efifb

The screen may scroll much slower than usual but it's normal. Take a picture and attach here if any last word of the kernel dumped.

For detailed steps, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters#Temporarily_Add_a_Kernel_Boot_Parameter_for_Testing .

Sure, I'll do it today or tomorrow, as time permits.

I've rebooted without choosing the kernel, so "5.4.0-48" was chosen.
Attached file is what could be seen when the booting hanged.
