Bug#996667: kernel panic with kernel upgrade on diskless PXE + NFS system
Package: linux-image-4.19.0-17-amd64
Version: 4.19.194-3
Severity: critical
I have the following packages installed:
linux-image-4.19.0-16-amd64
linux-image-4.19.0-17-amd64
linux-image-4.19.0-18-amd64
The system boots PXE on NFS--completely diskless. eth0 connects to the
PXE/NFS server. The -16 release runs just fine. I tried to upgrade to
the -18, and then -17, releases by switching the PXE configuration, but
both failed. The -18 release failed at:

etc. (Retyped from a photo.) The -17 release output is the same.
I don't know what file "line 275" refers to.
There were a lot of updates from 4.19.181-1 to 4.19.194-3.
