Jeremy - I don't see any kernel changes that would affect CONFIG_DRM_AST, nor do I see any changes in debian-installer.

UPPINANGADY SALIH - 2016-03-15 07:47:16 == Please note: we did not face this hung issue with netboot of 4.4.0-11-generic, hence we can call this bug as regression.. Also note, this soft lock up issue does not completely block installation , we can proceed with installation but we do see occasional console hangs and soft lockup console messages. == Comment: #19 - Jeremy Kerr - 2016-03-22 06:37:28 == Seeing the same issue with the current installer build (20101020ubuntu440) - soft lockup at the language selection screen, with no input possible. It's intermittent, but is happening about two times out of three. == Comment: #59 - Murilo Fossa Vicentini - 2016-04-12 17:05:26 == If I blacklist the ast driver (along with drm, ttm and so on) from being loaded by passing modprobe.blacklist=ast in the boot arguments, I don't hit this issue. I also wasn't able to reproduce this issue in a tuleta box, so it seems to be related to the graphics driver. Indira can you double check this "workaround" solves the issue in your system as well? I am uploading the installation logs of a failure in the latest netboot image. == Comment: #73 - INDIRA P. JOGA <indira.pr...@in.ibm.com> - 2016-04-14 06:00:43 == Verified below test scenarios with workaround .Did not hit with BUG soft lockup error and also hang issue. Fix is working fine. > Installed ubuntu16.04 over Travis3EN, while ray system is in Habanero LC FW ( OP810.30 OP810 1603G) > Updated to SL FW (TN71-BP012-810.1611.20160406a) & reinstalled ray with ubuntu16.04 via Travis3EN.
