Hi stable-maintainers, Hi Greg, it seems that the patch to fix early boot stalling with Intel Core 2 processors, which Linus' already applied to his tree and could be found in >=4.19-rc3, somehow missed the CC: line for linux-stable to pick it up. As of now 4.18.8-rc1 does not include it. The latest kernel version unaffected by this issues is 4.17.19, so a backport to 4.18.y should be enough. Thank you for all your hard work, Siegfried
