It does little good to refer to a bug tracker we don't have access to.

It's the end of July 2020 and we are still booting to the installation kernel.

Has anyone managed to find out what is going on at boot that causes the OS to freeze just before the login prompt? The network comes up for about 5 pings from a Windows machine then it freezes too. The fans go to 100% and the only way out of it is the power button.

I've updated from 7.6 to 7.7 to 7.8 and the problem has stayed the same. I have every patch on the satellite server and it is current as of the 16th of this month.
