Could you try below patch to check who causes the hang?

And, if sysalt-t works when hang, could you get sysalt-t output? I haven't
used it before but Paul could find some culprit on it. :)

Thanks.

I've only added the first one, as I would never see the second one. All of
this happens before the serial console is activated, earlycon is not supported,
and I only have remote access.
