            Bug ID: 203839
           Summary: Kernel 5.2-rc3 fails to boot on a PowerMac G4 3,6:
                    systemd[1]: Failed to bump fs.file-max, ignoring:
                    invalid argument
           Product: Platform Specific/Hardware

failed boot, screenshot 5.2-rc3

The system boots fine with kernel 5.1.7. Starting with 5.2-rc1 the G4 got
problems to correctly finish booting. With 5.2-rc3 basic boot process seems to
complete, but crashes when handing control over to systemd:

systemd[1]: Failed to bump fs.file-max, ignoring: invalid argument
systemd[1]: segfault (11) at 0 nip 0 ir 0 code 1
systemd[1]: Bad NIP, not dumping instructions
[...]

For more details see the screenshot. Kernel 5.2-rc1 errors out even earlier
(see screenshot) with a different error. Also this problem maybe is 32bit
specific. Tried 5.2-rc3 on a PowerMac G5 which boots successfully without
problems.

root is ext4, boot is ext2, systemd is v241.
