I had held off moving to 14.1 due to Kalle's issue as well as one other
internally-reported issue, but since a few others said they didn't have
issues, I thought I'd try it out for my laptop build in case it is just a
NUC-related issue.

And what I'm seeing after reboot and selecting the new image from GRUB is:
Loading Linux 6.10-rc6-wt-ath+ ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

and that's it. It sits there with that on the display.

We tend to enable a lot of debug config options, so I'm wondering if one of
them is contributing to the issue? Guess I'll turn off a bunch of those
options and try again.
