It seems the bug I'm seeing is separate from the one you are describing. The 4.16 kernels that ship with debian testing crash for me as well. I tested the 142a27f0a version with CONFIG_B43_HWRNG switched off (manually in the .config): it still crashes is the same way. I also just verified that the version one before that really is good. cheers, lukas -- Do not believe the naysayers who say it cannot be done.
