Comment 10 for bug 1579580

Same on Ubuntu 17.10 with the latest updates and encrypted file system. During boot the process stops at the Ubuntu label with the 5 dots and does nothing else, but generates these messages.

And no login screen. I had to hard reset the Dell Latitude 5280 at least 4-5 times before it could proceed to the login screen.
