I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:
Kernel 6.4.6 compiled from source worked AOK on my desktop with Intel Xeon cpu and Nvidia graphics - see below for system specs.
Kernels 6.4.7 & 6.4.8 also compiled from source with identical configs hang with a frozen boot terminal screen after a significant way through the boot sequence (e.g. whilst running /etc/profile). The system may still be running as a sound is emitted when the power button is pressed (only way to escape from the system hang).

Not my area of expertise, but nevertheless pretty sure this is the same issue already discussed here, as it's a GT218 there as well at 6.4.7 is the version that commit was backported to:

No final solution ready yet, but looks like the culprit will be reverted.
