@Thomas Do we still support these older distros?
If the kernel is not maintained, we don't support it.
For most distros, Linux < 3.16 is not maintained.
This is on kernel 3.13 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which according to Canonical's
published schedule [1] has stopped receiving even maintenance updates,
and is only updated for select customers). It was never an LTS kernel to
begin with, i think.
So we can ignore this issue.
It seems that it's also reproducible on Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.19.
Which is not an upstream LTS kernel, but it's >3.16.
It also looks like it may be an issue for us specifically, so i would
suggest reverting the patch for rc2 if the submitter/maintainers don't
come back and fix it.
Just to confirm, these failures are on x86 builds, is that correct?
Power 9 systems aren't supported by these older distros, Linux kernel
4.6 was the first kernel with Power 9 support.
