Is this a VM running on top of Hyper-V by chance? There seems to be an issue with the combination of: - Windows 10 1708 or newer.
- Hyper-V config version 8.2 - 9.0.
- Microsoft's Fix for Spectre and Meltdown.
- Newer Intel Hardware (Sandy Lake/Kaby Lake, etc.)
The workaround seems to be to remove "rhgb" and "quiet" from the kernel line in the GRUB config (you may need to edit the command line from the grub menu before booting).
<snip> Haven't been following this, but if this is a server, rather than a workstation, there is *zero* reason to have rhgb and quiet on a server. I take it off ours. If I'm standing there during boot, I always want to see what's happening.
