Identical bug.
Clean install on an elderly Lenovo Thinkpad that had worked perfectly on every version of Ubuntu since 12.10.
Clean install. The restart from installation process goes through correctly. But if the computer is powered down, it gets stuck on the splash screen. No time out - I left it running for an hour while I had lunch.
There is no way of getting started other than a re-install.
I can't attach a log or anything else, because the computer didn't start (I am writing this from Ubuntu 19.10 on another drive).
