Further to this, if I boot single user I can get a shell, then <Ctrl-D> to continue booting, whereupon the same panic may occur. I'm unsure if this is related, but I noticed I can reliably trigger a system freeze when changing runlevels. The system no longer responds to ping. The sequence of events is (starting in runlevel 5): root@wills:~# telinit 1 [ 604.336000] systemd-journald[169]: Received request to flush runtime journal from PID 1 Welcome to rescuGive root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue): root@wills:~# telinit 5 Hangup root@wills:~# [ 610.908000] systemd-journald[169]: Received request to flush runtime journal from PID 1 root@wills:~# Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid wills ttyS0 wills login: ### At this point I have both a shell and a login prompt vying for input, ### pressing <Ctrl-D> in an attempt to exit the shell produces the freeze.
