And CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y. If I > disable _STRONG, it boots too. Attached. This really should mean that the stack canary changed. Either the stack canary wasn't prepared yet (but this is from run_init_process(), which is WELL after boot_init_stack_canary()), or the canary was actually stomped on, which would certainly be a bug in the existing code. Ah! I see it now.
