Package: linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64
Version: 4.19.12-1

Random boot failures on VMware when VM uses the Paravirtual Adapter. I drop into a busybox shell after the first line from the kernel. No disk found. Normally the 2nd line mentions the disk - this line doesn’t appear on failing boots - no disk is accessible. Rebooting sometimes works.

Kernel 4.18.0-3-amd64 work all the time. 4.19.3-1 is also broken.

LSI SCSI controller works fine on every reboot.

I have looked through the changelog of 4.19.12. it mentions code re-arrangement in pv_scsi driver - maybe something broke there?
