** Description changed:

  kernel get stucks at boot if console=ttyS* is specified in the kernel
  cmdline and that serial HW isn't available on the system.
  
  Reproduced with:
  4.4 (from Xenial), 4.15 (from Bionic), 5.4 (native, Focal) and 5.7-next 
(mainline)
  
  Removing the non-existent 'console=ttyS*' parameter fixes the situation.
  
  I tested it using KVM/qemu, but it has been brought to my attention that
  it was reproducible in VMware as well.
  
  I think it is safe to say that it is unlikely to be specifics to a
  certain virtualization technology type.
  
- Didn't test on baremetal, but I would suspect the same behaviour (until
- I'm proving wrong).
+ Didn't test on baremetal yet.
