We've got a serial console log from AWS Support through our Support team (special thanks to Pedro Principeza and our former colleague Mark Thomas.)
The problem is definitely not the ext4/jbd2 patchset as suspected (although it's unclear how reverting it caused the kernel to boot; maybe build environment differences?) Early in the kernel boot, before even trying to mount the rootfs, there are blcked swapper tasks, and they just continue to happen. (full log attached.) ``` Starting Reboot... ...
