Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 4.9+80+deb9u6

Trying to boot will lead to a hung system after the message "loading
initial ramdisk". Ctrl-Alt-Del will not work. I have to switch off the
machine the hard way.

Workaround I:
This behavior first appeared a while ago (maybe 2-3 months) after an
update (as usual simply with synaptic) and after switching the machine
off and on again the second try was always successful.

Workaround II:
Today the behavior changed and the problem became more severe. Switching
the machine off and on again will no longer solve the problem. Instead I
boot the same kernel into recovery mode. Then I press Ctrl-D to continue
the boot process and everything seems normal.

Environment:
There are 3 operating systems present on my machine. Windows10, Debian
Jessie and Debian Stretch. All started by the bootloader of Stretch.
I use the XFCE Desktop environment.
Kernel: Linux deb9tst 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

An additional remark:
I remember there was quite recently a kernel update which asked me
something about the configuration. I had the options to view the
configurations, change them and so on. I decided to just use the old
configuration file. The problem started short after this.
