Hello Shawn,

Please, follow my CLI transcript from my Future Fedora 26 VM over WIN10
(now rawhide) with Fedora 4.8.15 kernel implanted (kernel 4.10.0-rc0 gives
me lot of  griefs, I do not trust it, so I eliminated it for now):

*Do NOT forget: I run Fedora rawhide on VMWorkstation 12.5.2 Type 2 HYP on

Please, do the same on Mint18 distro on raw HW, and see if this will give
you some different results then what you have presently?

Please, let us know!
