Are you able to boot with older releases on these systems that are
failing? If so, we can test out the cosmic kernels and try to narrow
down the commit that introduced this regression.

Bug description:
x86 daily image (32bit) XUBUNTU 18.10
- booted & ran fine on dell latitude d610
- booted & ran fine on ibm thinkpad t43
fails on
- hp dc7700 small form factor desktop
- dell 755 desktop
- lenovo thinkpad x201
I don't get the "try xubuntu / install xubuntu" screen, instead it
eventually drops to
----
"BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu4) built-in shell (ash)

on-USB-access-after-upgrade-to-kernel-4-18-td4387757.html
I've been testing xubuntu 18.10 daily images for awhile (but not
logging on qa-tracker - my bad, sorry!!!) without issue on t43 & d610,
and only rarely booting on other boxes (like 755/dc7700/..)
It may have been ~15-20 days since last tested on dell 755; but it
worked fine back then (& prior) but due to my QA-tracking omission, we
can't be exact - sorry again!
