Since switching kernel to 4.8 (Morty) I have noticed that sometimes my Intel 
Atom hardware (Pokini) doesn't boot Linux.

Specifically, syslinux runs fine and starts the kernel but this then hangs 
immediately after displaying "Booting the kernel.", producing no further output.

This is typical output, with one of my attempts to produce more output from the 
kernel via serial:

> /vmlinuz initrd=/initrd LABEL=boot root=/dev/ram0  video=efifb:off 
> video=640x480 console=ttyS0,115200 verbose

Loading /vmlinuz... ok
Loading /initrd...ok

The issue seem to occur with some probability after powering the hardware but 
I've not seen it occur after a reboot.

4.1 and 4.4.36 are reliable and do not have any issues booting.

I've been looking through bugs/issue but not found anything relevant.  Does 
anyone know of issues that I might not have found that would apply?

I've also been looking at how to get more diagnostics out of the boot.  I've 
tried a few suggested kernel boot parameters but nothing has helped so far.   
It seems to go wrong too early.  Do I need to re-build the kernel to produce 
more output at the early stage it fails?

Thanks,
Chris
