I'm about to disappear until the 20th on a backroads motorcycle trip with The Wild Bunch from Tennessee... I have included my co-worker Martin in the CC list, I think he will be able to help - I'll give him access to my VMs. Access to the VM's graphics console is important here - when the problem occurs, the broken thing that boots can't be logged into, but the graphics console does a particular whacky thing... June 9th's linux-next boots and runs fine on my VM BTW... I'll be able to peek into this thread some evenings from motel rooms, and we'll only be up to about rc4 when I get back... -Mike On Thu, Jun 9, 2016 at 7:40 PM, Rafael J.
