    Because I first noticed the error on a sles kernel and that is how they
    have it set.
    The error also occurs with sharing on.

    With console=ttyS1 the boot will "hang", sometimes it makes it all the
    way through but may take 30 minutes, instead of the 2-4 minutes this box

    Yes it still happens with 4.8+
    I had only started dwelling on 3.6/3.7 since that is where it first
    appears and don't have any attachment to those.
