I no longer have a 4.17 image; and my requests for if anyone who knows
where one is (on irc) got no answer.
Yes these systems booted the daily ISO three-four weeks ago when tested;
but I'd not found & thus wasn't using the QA-tracker at that time, so I
have no logs sorry (I'm new to QA-testing)
If you can find an 4.17 kernel ISO, I'd love to test it.
Note: I don't recall the kernels that it stopped working, the switch
to 4.18 was about the same time it was last successfully tested on those
boxes. I concentrated testing on lower spec machines for x86 ISO; those
boxes are x86_64 capable, and thus only tested very occasionally (not
enough obviously). I was pointed to that possible-cause by Walter (wxl)
because it effects the Lubuntu image too (both x86)

eventually drops to

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!
