Since this bug can only happen on 64bit capable CPUs with 42+ bits
physical address size, a valid workaround is to install the amd64
kernel. (At least this is what I did for my affected systems for the
time being.)

A proper fix would be of course nice.

Sven.

Bug#907175: 4.9.0-8-686-pae swapon failed invalid argument

2018-10-26 Thread William Salmon 
Ubuntu bug #1788321 says they have fixed this in kernels: 
4.4.0-137-generic #163~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 17:13:32 UTC 2018 i686 
(above is Ubuntu16/14)
and 
4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu i686

This is still an issue with latest kernel on 32-bit Debian 9 kernel :
4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08) 
gives:  swapon: /dev/sdb1: swapon failed: Invalid argument

so we are stuck on 4.9.0-7 

Any news on a fix, please ?
