Thanks Daniel. I've spent all morning testing kernels, and here're my
results. Spoiler nothing after 4.15 works reliably, and mostly doesn't
work at all.

In detail:

- 4.15.0-12-generic: Works
  This is what I get after a minimal install where I don't allow the installer 
to download updates.
- 4.16.0-generic: Fails
- 4.17.0-generic: Fails
- 4.18.0-rc6: Fails
- 4.18.0-rc6: Fails

With both of 4.18.0 rc6 and rc7, I can get to the desktop by restarting
in recovery mode only. It loses my displays settings (this machine has
the hdpi screen), but appears to work otherwise. I'm still not sure how
one time out of three, I seem to have gotten a working install on the
rc6 kernel.

Also with both rcs, at boot time here's what I see:

- Black screen (normal)
- Turns grey (normal, I expect to see the decrypt screen next)
- Flash of terminal text (not normal)
- Screen goes dark (not normal)

I don't know how to recover the text that flashes up, but if you know
where it might be logged etc, I can dig it up.
