+I strongly suspect it's not hanging. It's likely just stopped doing
+things. Flip over to tty2 and you should have a text login.

+I suspect it has not even tried to start yet.
+
+Do a "systemctl start prefdm.service" and you should have your normal
+logins.
+
+I suspect strongly this is simply the legacy non-LSB initscripts issue I
+mentioned last week that is preventing the prefdm.service job from being
+executed on boot.

+
+That's likely because you do not have the microcode itself installed.
+It's from a package in tainted so would not be installed by default.
