I have other systems running 4.4.0-53 which are fine too, it's just
this one that is broken.  It's an Acer Aspire Netbook with a rather
odd partitioning of the hard disk (because of the way it got to where
it is):-

Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *           63  63461375  63461313  30.3G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
