Fails to boot Kernels newer than 4.15: LSB: QEMU KVM module loading script

Question

I currently cannot boot any kernels newer than 4.15 because my PC hangs on boot with the following message: https://i.sstatic.net/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.

Answer 1

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.
