I've booted this patchset on 2 boxes, both had random problems during
boot. On one I was not able to diagnose what went wrong. On the other
one the system booted up to userspace and failed to set up networking.
Serial console worked and the network service complained about wrong
format of /usr/share/wicked/schema/team.xml . That's supposed to be a
text file, though hexdump showed me lots of zeros. Trimmed output:

There's something at the end of the file that does look like a xml fragment.
The file size is 4121. This looks to me like exactly the first page of the file
was not read correctly.

The xml file is supposed to be read-only during startup, so there was no write
in flight. 'rpm -Vv' reported only this file corrupted. Booting to other
kernels was fine, network up, and the file was ok again. So the
corruption happened only in memory, which leads me to conclusion that
there is an unknown bug in your patchset.
