Comment 17 for bug 1867916

For what it is worth, I have a kernel issue that appears after upgrading from 4.15.0-88 to 4.15.0-91 and it still is present in 4.15.0-96.
For my system the kernel does not panic, however it eventually starts erroring and then mounts /tmp as ro.
If I reboot in maintenance mode fsck the disk, fix errors and reboot, system will repeat. However, booting back to 4.15.0-88 and system will come back up and remain stable.

Once booting with kernal 4.15.0-91 or 4.15.0-96, syslog shows
