Hello, i'm jumping in having the same problem as brendan. I bisected this myself. The offending commit is this one:
909657615d9b3ce709be4fd95b9a9e8c8c7c2be6 is the first bad commit commit 909657615d9b3ce709be4fd95b9a9e8c8c7c2be6 Author: Christoph Hellwig <h...@lst.de> Date: Thu Apr 6 15:36:32 2017 +0200 scsi: libsas: allow async aborts We now first try to call ->eh_abort_handler from a work queue, but libsas was always failing that for no good reason.

At boot, right after I enter my drive encryption password, it kernel panics with the above message. It doesn't even get far enough along in the boot process for syslog to log this panic, so the only info I have is a photo of the panic. In short, I can't boot using the latest artful aardvark kernel, and I have to boot with the latest zesty zapus kernel. :~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic I expect this isn't normal and I should be able to boot with the new kernel, which I can't.
