Bug Description

This issue was only spotted with a specific HW, node "fozzie" Dell PowerEdge R320, in our test pool. Other nodes like onibi (Dell PowerEdge R310), gonzo (Dell PowerEdge R415), pepe (Dell PowerEdge R310), onza (Dell PowerEdge R310) they don't have such issue.

Steps:
  1. Deploy the system with i386 Artful, with a SRU regression-testing job on jenkins.

Result:
  * The deployment task will fail, from the virtual console you will see kernel panic error message

The deployment will stuck here after the "Rebooting for dist-upgrade" task:
+ /var/lib/jenkins/kernel-testing/metal --debug --nc --series=artful --arch=i386 --flavour=generic --required-kernel-version=4.13.0-37.42 --pkg-name=None fozzie

More testing shows that:
1. Deployment with Artful is good.
2. Manual upgrade to 4.13.0-37 and reboot is good

Need to check why it's not working with our jenkins job.
There was a successful deployment yesterday, but not today.
