Stuck at boot: R8169 can't disable ASPM [Solved]

Question

Since kernel 4.15.0.55 update, I'm getting stuck at boot. No kenel after .55 can't boot. At recovery mode system halts at this message:

r8169 can't disable ASPM OS doesn't have ASPM control

I've found this is a long lasting bug. I've installed r8168-dkms (8.045.08-2ubuntu1) with synaptic package manager, but I've seen r8168 don't replace r8169, and boot halts at same point. I've found a forum post pointing to install r8168-dkms_8.047.02-1_all.deb, instead, but I'm not sure about this workaround.

    dmesg | grep r816

Edit:

Also I've found a solution at github "Linux driver for Realtek network chips with enabled ASPM", but not tried yet

Any advice?

I have installed Linux-generic-hwe-18.04, and now I can boot without any problem. It has been solved since kernel 4.19
