Hi Canonical,
Can you please apply this patch [1] to 16.10 and 16.04.x HWE (4.8) ?
It's fixes a regression introduced in 4.8.
As you can see, it's in the SCSI maintainer (James Bottomley)'s
'fixes' branch, but didn't make 4.9-rc8 (maybe he considered it late
for this one).
We have installer, boot, and post-boot problems due to this one.
It'd be good if the netboot images for 16.04.x HWE kernel can get it too.
Thank you,

The netboot install fails and Call traces are seen at the Disk detection step.
== Comment: #8 - Mauricio Faria De Oliveira - 2016-11-21 15:58:25 ==
Finally got it.
The assembly offset/code + the trap signal is due to this BUG_ON(),
and the second condition triggered the trap.
Checking why piocb is not NULL but piocb->vport is NULL.
This might have happened in the lpfc_linkdown_port() path, in the stack trace.
Would need a more readable console log (ie, dmesg, as requested in
comments 5, 3) to help understanding it.

bits with 1-bits (ie, save the LSb).
24c0: 00 00 09 0b tdnei r9,0 // trap if not equal to zero.
(ie, the whole r9 was zero, with 64 leading/consecutive zeroes, then bit 6 is
1, it becomes bit 0.. and since bit 0 is now 1, r9 is thus non-zero, and the
trap triggers.) this checked the latter part of the OR.
