HAOS Freeze on boot - rcu_preempt stall

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install HAOS on an Asus laptop (Intel Celeron N2940, 4GB RAM, MX500 SSD). My goal is to run the Generic x86-64 Home Assistant OS. I am running into a problem and im looking for help!

The Problem:
The HAOS boot sequence completely locks up the CPU. It throws a fatal rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks error. The PC just freezes, and shuts down.

Looking at the console logs, the freeze happens after:
Found device /dev/zram2
I have used ocr and put the entire console output below

What I have already tried in the GRUB boot menu:

I have edited the linux boot line to include the following parameters (both individually and combined):

intel_idle.max_cstate=1 (and cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=1)
intel_pstate=disable
nomodeset
pcie_aspm=off
zram.num_devices=0 (Note: This successfully stopped ZRAM from loading, but the system still immediately froze with the same RCU stall right after the udev coldplug).
modprobe.blacklist=rtsx_pci,rtsx_pci_sdmmc,snd_hda_intel,btusb (Attempted to block internal Asus hardware drivers).

I have also disabled Fast Boot, Secure Boot, and tried changing around the OS Selection to “Windows 7 / Other OS” in the Asus BIOS.

Thank you in advance for any insight!
