Hi. I can not enter mentioned command, because during system boot
plymouth freezes and keyboard is unresponsive. After several seconds
plymouth disappears and BusyBox v1.22.1 "console" appears (here,
keyboard does not work and does not respond either). The only solution
is to use hard reboot and choose an earlier v4.4.0-112.135 Linux kernel
in GRUB menu etc.

Maybe I can execute 'apport-collect 1748710' command in v4.4.0-112.135
kernel? But this issue appeared after update to the "-proposed" kernel:
v4.4.0-112.135.

Thanks.

Title:
  Linux 4.4.0-113.136 (i386/x86_32): failed to boot and BusyBox v1.22.1
  built-in shell.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello.

  On Thu Feb 8, Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS has been updated to
  the 4.4.0-113.136 version (xenial-proposed). However, after reboot,
  plymouth freezes during start, and keys on a keyboard were in-active.
  After several seconds, the BusyBox screen appeared. It looks this way:

  ,------
  | BusyBox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
  | Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
  |
  | (initramfs) _ 
  `------

  Unfortunately, the keyboard does not work and does not respond. The
  only way to solve this issue is a "hard reset" and in GRUB menu
  choosing an earlier kernel, which is linux 4.4.0-112.135. Now,
  everything works okay.

  Proposed update to the Linux 4.4.0-113.136 contains many new updates
  (please see 1.) It's an i386/x86_32 architecture, which does not
  contain PTI yet, right? I'm asking, because mentioned -proposed
  updates contains a couple of PTI-related patches and bugs in PTI can
  cause a few different signatures of crashes etc. For example:

  ✗ Crashes in early boot, especially around CPU bringup.  Bugs in the 
trampoline code or mappings cause these. 
  ✗ Userspace segfaults early in boot, sometimes manifesting as mount(8) 
failing to mount the rootfs.  These have tended to be TLB invalidation issues. 
Usually invalidating the wrong PCID, or otherwise missing an invalidation. 

  NOTE: if it's about PCID, which is mentioned in a second point, there
  is one patch in -proposed update: "x86/mm/32: Move
  setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PCID) earlier". Maybe that's is the
  cause of a boot failure? There are no errors in log files, such as
  '/var/log/syslog' or '/var/log/kern.log'. Maybe only that one (but I
  have no idea if it's important)?

  ✗ PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use
  "pci=nocrs" and report a bug

  If I could provide some more informations, please let me know. Here
  are some technical informations:

  ● Release ('/proc/version_signature'): Ubuntu 4.4.0-112.135-generic 4.4.98
  ● Architecture: i386/x86_32
  ● PCI ('lspci -vnvn'): 00:0a.0 PCI bridge [0604]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP73 
PCI Express bridge [10de:056d] (rev a1) (prog-if 01 [Subtractive decode]) 
Capabilities: [b8] Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd MCP73 PCI Express 
bridge [1458:026f] 

  Thanks, regards.
