Guys,
Heads up, this is affecting sporadic x86_64 PCs too. A sizable chunk of
my 64bit machines refuse to boot with 4.17.7 and even a few 32bit ones
with 4.17.6. There is obviously something wrong here that needs fixing.
Just to add a few things. I just did a complete x86_64 rebuild with the
most recent kernel (4.17.7), binutils, util-linux, etc.
I did get some new test failures:
075-glibc-2.27:FAIL: nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-multi
105-inetutils-1.9.4:FAIL: ping-localhost.sh
106-perl-5.28.0:FAILED at test 7
138-eudev-3.2.5:FAIL: udev-test.pl
143-vim-8.1:1 FAILED:
143-vim-8.1:TEST FAILURE
I have not yet investigated those.
I also did some experimenting with a separate /usr partition. The
system booted properly. Here is some sizing data:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 20G 3.4G 16G 18% /
/dev/sda24 9.8G 806M 8.5G 9% /usr
5.2M bin
15M etc
75M jhalfs
42M lib
4.0K lib64
12K media
4.0K mnt
4.0K opt
24K root
12M sbin
1.7G sources
4.0K srv
1.6G tools
260K var
The bottom line is that after removing jhalfs, tools, and sources, the
size needed for the root partition is only about 150 MB. For
installations that use encrypted partitions, RAID, etc, the root
partition would be to be a bit higher. I'd probably go with 500 MB, but
as a proof of concept, this works nicely.
