OK, I think we're seeing different symptoms of the same bug. Stay
tuned, will have something for you to test shortly, I hope.
Ah thanks. I'll defer the bisection then (it's painful on that machine
for various reasons....)
Can you try with these two patches applied?
Booted to login prompt once ... and twice. Much better ! :-)
Excellent! I was hoping it was the same bug :-)
I'll amend the commit and add your tested-by.
A colleague was complaining of yet another oddball block related crash
today on another machine when doing rsync's with upstream (this machine
booted fine but crashed later on, but then it has less CPUs... maybe
that's relevant) and these patches fixed it too.
