Research direction
Start by reproducing the boot failure on Void Linux with kernel 5.4.50 and compare it with kernel 4.19, noting the hang at “check Ramdisk...” and the NVIDIA graphics hardware. Done would require identifying a reproducible cause and a confirmed resolution; the payload names no files, tests, or entry points.
