Hi Joseph, I know I'm new to this thread (took a while to find a match to the symptom), but I've been experiencing this issue as well (first on Manjaro, now on Xubuntu, both give problems with 4.13 but are fine in 4.9/4.10). Just installed your test kernel (lp1742630) to my Xubu16.04 installation. The panic is gone, but so is the offending SAS controller according to the dmesg output.
Attaching the dmesg (and some system info if needed) outputs, but if you need additional information just say the word. ** Attachment added: "4.10, 4.13, lp1742630 dmesg outputs and lspci dump" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1726519/+attachment/5036637/+files/dmesg_sys_info.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726519 Title: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at isci_task_abort_task Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Artful: In Progress Status in linux source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: So I just upgrade from zesty zapus to artful aardvark. At boot, right after I enter my drive encryption password, it kernel panics with the above message. It doesn't even get far enough along in the boot process for syslog to log this panic, so the only info I have is a photo of the panic. In short, I can't boot using the latest artful aardvark kernel, and I have to boot with the latest zesty zapus kernel. :~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic I expect this isn't normal and I should be able to boot with the new kernel, which I can't.
