Not fully booting after update

After upgrading to the release version of Mojave, my MacBook Pro 2018 stopped loading fully. The progress bar went to full and stopped - no matter how long the wait.


Nothing in the logs.


I upgraded straight to 10.14.1 beta 1 and all was fine.


When I try to upgrade to beta 2, the same thing happens. Nothing of note in Single User boot.


I re-install 10.14.1 beta 1 and all is fine.


Release and Beta 2 update reliably end up stalling after a full progress bar.


Cleaning caches, removing all third party kexts, launchdaemons and agents does not change the picture. No improvement with Safe Boot.


Fresh out of ideas on this one.
