Kernel output of 3 kernel starts with connected / disconnected HDDs and
different kernels

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #151661 +++

Hi,

my english language is not so good. I hope you understand what I write here.

The kernel 4.12.8 crashes after errors from aacraid and after the start of the
"kernel device manager" when I connect 8 HDDs (power on) to the
ICP9087MA-RAID-Controller. (See attachment 0_...)

The crash is before the Kernel opens log files in /var/log. I found NO entries
in the log files. So I configure grub (in /etc/default/grub) and the kernel to
use the serial line (/dev/ttyS0, COM1) as the console. On my Notebook I capture
the serial output of the starting kernel with minicom.

If I disconnect the 8 HDDs (power off) the kernel 4.12.8 starts normal and I
can use the system but without the two Host drives (2 x RAID-5) of the
ICP9087MA.
(See attachment 1_...)

When I use different kernels of version 3.x.x (from kernel.org or Debian) all
works fine when the 8 HDDs are connected to the ICP9087MA-Raid-Controller. (See
attachment 2_...)
