Just for reference, this specific bug does not seem to be universal, but 
possibly only applies to a specific configuration.  I have observed no 
problems with 6.1 on my rx 2800 i2 and just booted 6.2 with no issues.  
Please feel free to try out my kernel config here:

A possible guess is initramfs-related, as according to your logs on the 
Debian ML the hang happens shortly after initramfs unpacking, and I do 
not use an initramfs.
