I currently cannot boot any kernels newer than 4.15 because my PC hangs on boot with the following message: https://i.stack.imgur.com/q3JY3.jpg

If I purge QEMU per the instructions found here: Ubuntu 16.04 failed to start LSB: QEMU KVM module loading script I can boot just fine, however I need QEMU to run Polo File Manager.

How can I keep QEMU and boot a newer kernel?
My distro is KDE Neon.

  • This service should not do a lot that takes time, if you are interested in debugging you might check systemd-analyze critical-chain if it really is the one taking all the time after it booted eventually and add a set -x to /usr/share/qemu/init/qemu-kvm-init to have the steps in the log one by one probably pointing to the time consuming part. – Christian Ehrhardt Aug 28 '18 at 05:08

I found a temporary(?) fix! I disabled QEMU KVM from booting at start using the instructions found here at AskUbuntu.
My command was 

sudo systemctl disable qemu-kvm

and it WORKED.

I can boot now and Polo File Manager works just fine, although I haven't tested its KVM capabilities.
