I have been using OE 5.05 without issue in a multi-room Kodi on Pi setup with SQL server.
I tried #307 as my first dev build and found that it couldn't boot beyond the stationary Kodi logo.
The reason appears to be associated with the SQL login in my advancedsettings file. Removing the advancedsettings permitted it to boot without issue. Limiting the advancedsettings to just the SQL login caused it to hang again.

Are you sure it's not just taking a while to upgrade from v90 db schema to v91? I'm using MySQL without any issue, but the v91 upgrade can take a few minutes depending on the size of your library.
A debug log of your "hang" would provide more information.

Yes. The database upgrade was the issue. After waiting for about 10min, it now appears to boot up without issue.

I want to disable HDMI-CEC because it keeps changing inputs on my AVR. This should be as straightforward as adding "hdmi_ignore_cec=1" to my config.txt file. But when I reboot, I get a black screen after the logo. Checking the logs, I see a number of entries like this:
