Just some additional data without any final conclusion. Talking to Sean, the affected instance type seem to be all Xen based. The provided stacktrace backs this. In the past that could have been a mix of paravirtualized (PV) and hardware virtualized (HVM). But since spectre/meltdown I expect that to be all HVM guests.
>From the stacktrace the bug occurs early during setup of ACPI. At least that part has not changed on the 4.4 kernel side. There is one change in this cycle which changes where internal driver data gets attached to interrupt controller structures. Though that would be a change which was applied to all (4.4, 4.15, 5.4) kernels in this cycle. -- 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/1896725 Title: xenial 4.4.0-191-generic in -proposed has a regression Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] The new xenial kernel in -proposed, 4.4.0-191-generic, and its derivatives, such as 4.4.0-1115-aws suffer a kernel panic on boot on AWS.
