Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04

I've installed all the latest updates in my KVM/QEMU VM. After doing so I can boot the 4.15.0-23-generic kernel just fine. When I try to boot the -24 kernel my system hangs. Once I try to boot the -24 kernel, I can no longer go back and boot the -23 kernel. It hangs as well. I reverted to an older QeMU snapshot and then I can boot the -23 kernel. Repeated again, and once I attempt to boot the -24 kernel, can no longer boot older kernels, so it appears that it is changing or damaging something on my system.

Hang looks like this. If I boot with quiet,splash and hit escape, I get an error:
A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (20s / no limit)

If I remove quiet,splash option, I just get the following and the system is hung, never gives login prompt:
[ OK ] Started Tool to automatically coolect and submit kernel crash signatures
[ OK ] Started User Manager for UID 120.

Note, I have installed the 4.15.0-24-generic kernel directly on my host system (Dell XPS 9360), and I don't have any problems with it there.

I have provided the requested information, however this was run under the -23 kernel, since I am not able to successfully boot the -24 kernel. I could potentially try to boot a recovery disk and poke around after attempting to boot the -24 kernel, but I'm not sure what I am looking for, so I will wait for further direction from you.

System is real PC, not virtual machine.
At 4.15.0-24-generic can't boot. I tried to boot recovery mode and I had kernel panic.
