Bug#852324: Disable CONFIG_DEBUG_WX in order to avoid this issue.



Hi,

VM doesn't boot with this parameter enabled, as confirmed by Linus mail.  So my upgraded to Stretch leaded to a complete system outage because of this parameter.

I held on kernel 3.19 from Jessie meanwhile.

Other than a single warning printed to dmesg during boot, what is
actually broken for you?
