  Note: I typed the messages in so typos may exist

  I suspect it's the same issue as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1794922

  where Walter (wxl) gave a possible link to

  http://debian.2.n7.nabble.com/Bug-908924-dma-direct-map-sg-overflow-
  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!
