-- i re-did test from comment #13 (oct 5) hopefully correctly using
lubuntu
installed lubuntu 18.04.1 on dell 755 without updates
i did NOT format /, using old /home from #13
reooted post install, pointed sources to my ISP's ubuntu mirror, dist-upgrade &
reboot

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!
