I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out what commit caused this regression. We need to identify the earliest kernel where the issue started happening as well as the last kernel that did not have this issue.
Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for the first kernel version that exhibits this bug: 4.13 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/ 4.14-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14-rc1/ 4.14-rc4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14-rc4/ 4.14 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14/ You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the kernel that first has this bug.

Mainly I'm getting the error message "VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6". Informations on the web imply that it might be possible that the required drivers are not anymore in recent kernel versions so I decided to post that issue now here too. The last working kernel version for me was linux-image-4.13.0-15-generic and the next version did already create a kernel panic for which I created originally the upstream report. --- ProblemType: Bug AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k4.13.0-15-generic.
