Can you try the patch below? This is extracted from the code here: https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/blob/b6a0b04d591f5b877cfe05f45e81f0e8a5cfc2b3/usr/src/uts/intel/io/pci/pci_boot.c#L1805
Thank you. Unfortunately it does not change anything noticable.
I'm not sure why this would be only an intermittent problem, but at least we can see if this is related.
It seems 4.19 and current git are 100% reproducers so far - I have not managed to successfully boot either of them yet. I have seen 4.19-rc1 era git kernel booting at least once. I noticed that Debian packaged 4.17 with initramfs worked fine so far for my test, from these I have in grub menu. My selfcompiled kernels do not use initramfs. -- Meelis Roos <mr...@linux.ee>
