I have the following specifications amd ryzen 2200G with motherboard msi b350 bazzoka, why is the kernel defaults to 4.15 (ubuntu 18.04) until the latest kernel 4.18.11 is always stuck on boot? I have to restart as many as I can, for log in.

Upgrade to latest BIOS update of motherboard, install ukuu to install kernel, install latest kernel 4.19 rc5 and install mesa latest drivers. This will end boot issues and frequent crashes. Problems still persist, with upcoming kernel updates lets hope all issues will be resolved as AMD is contributing to Kernel is a big way.

I resolved the hang on boot by adding nomodeset to my boot options, following the suggestion by user.dz

As root, edit the file /etc/default/grub, find the line setting the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable and add nomodeset. For me the result is

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet splash"

Then run sudo update-grub to apply the change, and reboot normally.
