I am unable to run apport-collect running 4.12-rc3, because I cannot actually boot my computer (an immediate kernel panic occurs, as evidenced by adding the output from earlyprintk=efi), so I'm marking this bug as confirmed. Please also see relevant discussion about this issue on the Linux Kernel mailing list: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1705.3/04549.html

In short, I am completely unable to boot kernel 4.12-rc3, even though I could boot from 4.12-rc2 perfectly fine. The loading screen does not appear at all, instead GRUB remains stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk ...". Please help. I don't know how to identify what is wrong because I am completely unable to boot the OS to begin with. Needless to say, this is a major problem.
