--- Comment #9 from Pontus Gråskæg graaskaeg.via.forwarder@neverbox.com --- Just to be clear, booting with kernel 4.19rc2 does indeed remove the "*ERROR* VCE not responding, giving up!!!" and associated messages. So that can be marked solved (I think). However, there is still a regression in behaviour, but I'll raise a separate bug for that, as it appears to be a different issue.
