Starting with Linux 4.14.157, 4.9.204, and 4.4.204 stables stopped
booting on my system. It can't find the root disk. No config changes
in between.

I have been bisecting 4.14 and 4.9 with no luck so far. I updated
to Ubuntu 19.10 in between.

The only other thing I see is CONFIG_GCC_VERSION which is supported
starting 4.18. I don't this boot failing issue on 4.19 + up. I am
also chasing any links between this config and scripts and tools
that generate the initramfs.

I am still debugging ... Serious for me since I can no longer test
older stables. :(

thanks,
