No, I don't. I have never had a need, or even a use, for one.

However, my comment on being more descriptive still stands regardless of
whether I did or didn't have an Intel Mac. And it would allow whoever
does actually help you to have something to work with.

At first glance, sounds like a hardware driver issue, but by knowing
nothing about you or your computer then that you have an intel mac that
is hanging after boot, then no real help can be offered.
