However I was able to boot it successfully by using the command line parameter "acpi=off". I have no idea what not having acpi will do to my system! I'm attaching the end of the earlier kernel panic messages (painstakingly transcribed by hand) in case someone finds it informative. The odd thing is that a diff of the configuration files for 4.12.8 (the native LFS-8.1 kernel) and 4.14.12 does not show anything new that's relevant to acpi. There must be some difference in the code itself. -- Hazel
