all devices using the Realtek RT81xx for Ethernet, so HSW/BDW/KBL. HSW is the most crippled, BSW slightly less, and KBL minimally, but the mitigation is recommended for all

No driver (or even kernel) changes in #0129, it's pretty much all kodi changes. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem, could the locking changes be a factor?

Nope. Please Nekromantik triple verify in 128 please.

There seems to be a kernel bug in 4.19 that affects Haswell chromboxes particularly hard. The work around is to edit /flash/syslinux.cfg as assuggested below. If you are really interested, the whole tale of woe played out over pages 315 to 320 or so in this thread.

 ssh root@<ip address>
<enter password, default is 'libreelec'>
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /flash
nano /flash/syslinux.cfg
<add ' pci=nomsi' after 'quiet'>
<save and quit: CTRL+O CTRL+X>
reboot

Sorry my bad!
It still happens on 125 too!
So this 1 file is messed up on Kodi.

 And 124 is fine?
