> Regarding ready installation images; I usually boot the rescue mode and i=
nstall manually by creating partitions and untarring the base system, so pe=
rhaps Hetzner/Vultr provide installation media where virtio_random is alrea=
dy pre-blacklisted).

The vultr install does indeed disable virtio-random, but that wasn't the on=
ly
issue: I created my own ISO without virtio-random , and whilst it stopped t=
he
boot hang, it still caused problems (hanging on reboot being one)

I talked with the vultr guy and he confirmed - he had to disable virtio-ran=
dom
AND change the KVM profile to boot :
