Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman: "NOTE, this kernel release is broken for i386 systems. If you are running such a machine, do NOT update to this release, you will not be able to boot properly. I did this release anyway with this known problem as there is a fix in here for x86-64 systems that was nasty to track down and was affecting people. Given that the huge majority of systems are NOT i386, I felt this was a safe release to do at this point in time." https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/17/434 So, we should take care to preserve the linux-libre 4.17.6 package definition for i686-linux, or skip this release. --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAltODOQACgkQJkb6MLrK fwg2OhAAohDrhjvJ+c7PMdH5EHnJRTdQqeqXrsEJD0A5igKAuzZYczl+z2lqmfB+ qgCERzgm2GB5zMPdgV1hLoKTH5iIrOkQz/Wb23AFKSgX65eTeuISzZSYgg/9byKB LQj8XeVjB6havAybFqJ4boTOn55q16uU+qFe9/orUqyniL4Jy2kv0807OewWWWgv BVePXjcZWQCaeroEy445/6yEvQqjg4GKPCxwYvB5X8Tth0Yos5ZVEkRWfjl/cWGb WVH6P1cCfn8r18wGrEQT4i23cESYgNIVRZqWOge/jk8aQIVfg0sImBBR+TVu9nQ7 r7/hEYhNZ2uKfoOzE833U9U/ZywMf1yc/1VoEPOPvBb16fJrS/s+t4TmFYIKJ3qt wixRBCIhm40NDDMx5VVAjBzI9l6Du5VJiiWan5rKKyVu2bCDOBfEd64TJCN+/eee fHuxYBW0qw4+5gmmu5n4i3gTvVStNyvOw2ynQMdgLjbVG65SJKZNstFmhka4ajDE 5wF3NzVA1oxmLRDd/RSMcCKf15gtPykrhYs8JSxXFqQ1XqpT/2CtSsK9r45h2Msu 8HNUDy+HT/43FlLyVunqHzHWtAfzKw6ySNBP7Lfo0GeIp4GP7cbttRiKPH3DlWys cb4xQWW25t23cQEILCnAb1F77IiITcUjP0UTmDLHnforg4ZDa0o= =tbn0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw--
