Digging into details gives:

The reason seems to be that the patch
moves the decission about if arch randomness
is available to setup.c function setup_randomness().
This code uses a static_key s390_arch_random_available.
But in the Canonical kernel the initialization function
for the jump labels (where the static keys are based on)
jump_label_init() is called in generic start_kernel()
wheres in the upstream kernel the init function is
called early in setup_arch().
So maybe another patch which is moving the jump_label_init()
from start_kernel() to setup_arch() is missing here.

I did NOT install any security fixes ... will try.

  Installing under z/VM leads to the same failure.

  Looks like all ubuntu 18.04 installations on s390 are not working any more.
  It is not an issue with z14 but z17 also fails to run a fresh installed 
ubuntu 18.04.

  when I use the 'advanced installation' where I am able to choose the kernel 
package and then choose the 4.15.0-50 generic the installed Ubuntu 18.04 comes 
up fine. So this issue is somewhere between kernel 4.15.0-50 and 4.15.0-194.
