Fixed my problem.
While looking through /var/log/syslog, I noticed this line around the
same time swap mount failed.

Just did a fresh install of 20.04 as a Proxmox VM and see this "invalid

Like John Shipp, we are on Debian 9.4 32-bit (on VMware) and still have
this issue on the latest kernel: 4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian
4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08)
Message in syslog is :
swapon: /dev/sdb1: swapon failed: Invalid argument
To work round it, I've pinned kernel at 4.9.0-7 on

On Xenial, update to "linux-image-4.4.0-135-generic 4.4.0-135.161" did
not fix the problem, but I noticed a message, that might be related to
the issue:

Nope, same swap file / swap partition, without have to re-run mkswap.

This doesn't happen on amd64. Do you also have to re-run mkswap when
switching back to the older, working kernel, or does simply using the
other kernel let you run swapon on the same file that doesn't work with
the newer kernel?

the changes that broke this seem to be related to the L1 terminal
patches. i've linked the CVE numbers. maybe that will get us some
help.

i'm running debian.
i'm using 686 (32 bit) and pae. what kernel are you running?
kernel 4.9.0-5 works and 4.9.0-8 is broken (didn't check others).
apt-get changelog linux-image-4.9.0-8-686-pae has lots of swap related
notes so they definitely borked something.

Hi charlie,
thank you for your answer.
I confirm I'm using VMware me too.
Last kernel 4.15.0-33 doesn't fix the issue.
Last kernel not affected is 4.15.0-30.
