I have likely the same (or similar) issue with my amd64 box. There are
4 physical cpus x 2 hyper-thread = 8 cores. From time to time it
doesn't want to boot due to this issue (looks like a race). My
walk-around is to safely reboot. Perhaps the probability of it
increases with the number of cores (on the screen there are 10 CPUs
listed).. I will try to have a look at it.

I've found also issues in compat_linux(8), on 2-core amd64 it works
smoothly, on 8-core opendylan (wip/opendylan) can easily panic the
kernel in the futex subsystem.
