We did in fact test the yakkety kernel with those two patched on Oct 21, per comments 23 and 24.
However, the test kernel I built with those two patches was 4.8.0-26. The last 4.8 based test kernel I posted was built with the two patches against Yakkety -proposed. That kernel is now at 4.8.0-29. That would suggest that another fix came in with the stable updates that in addition to those two patches fixes the bug. The next step is for me to check with upstream on the current status of the two patches. I'll see when they are expected to land in mainline, so we can cherry pick them into Yakkety. I'll investigate further and post and update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626436 Title: [4.8 regression] boot has become very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1626436/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
