Description giacomo82 2018-05-04 06:24:03 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm using F27 with 4.14 kernel without any problem.
If I try to upgrade the kernel to the proposed 4.15 or the new 4.16 (shipped with F28), most of the times my laptop (Dell 5510) hangs at boot, becoming completely unresponsive (I have to hold the power button). 
Something like 1 boot on 3 goes fine and the PC runs smoothly.
From the journal the last things I can read:

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 27 kernel bugs.

Fedora 27 has now been rebased to 4.17.7-100.fc27.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 28, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 28.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Hi, I moved to FC28 and, unluckily, the bug is still here.
4.17.7

Sorry, I saved without finishing.
I moved to FC28 with 4.17.7 kernel and I still cannot boot most of the times. Now I have to manually install 4.14.18-300 (from FC27) to be able to use my PC.
Thanks.

Hi,
I can confirm the bug has been resolved with the 4.18 kernel. It boots normally.

Thanks.
