I finally got the 26.7 upgrade to install. I had to remove the "os-cpu-microcode-intel" plugin and reboot. Then I tried the upgrade again and it worked...

OK... So I tried enabling the "os-cpu-microcode-intel" plugin again after upgrading to 26.7 and it caused the system to hang on boot again in the same spot "masks"... So I would suggest that if you have this plugin installed that you remove it before attempting the upgrade and don't re-install it afterward...

@franco is there an official method to select early or late loading of the microcode updates when using the plugin?
