FlashGT - In Tuleta 8284-22A with card in card slot P1-C9, system Fails to boot operating system

[bugproxy]

Placed card in card slot P1-C9
After powering chassis on, system comes up to Petitboot and attempts to load operating system.
"Ubuntu 16.04. . . ." continues to print on the console for about 2 or more minutes, then system drops to an "(initramfs)" prompt.
When attemped to "exit", message indicated:
"Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! UUID=4211fb0b-382d-4f3f-8fbd-47b57e24326d does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.22.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)"

In order to have this bug solved, we need to have the following patch integrated. Can Canonical please include it in 16.04 kernel?

I have tested that with the 4.4.0-31 kernel (which I am told has the patch), an adapter in slot C9 will not cause the system to boot up to the operating system.

Cold IPLed the system twice with an adapter in the P1-C9 slot, and the system IPLed to the operating system both times.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
