when booting kernel 4.11 (debian sid) i get the following:
init: conf/conf.d/zz-resume-auto unexpected (
kernel panic: not syncing attempt to kill init! pid1
then posts some bios and board info repeats the kernel panic line then halts. ill take a picture and upload shortly. kernel 4.8 boots fine.

fixed, had to rebuild initramfs for whatever reason. now working.
on debian :
code
update-initramfs -cu -k 4.11.0-2-amd64

the bootloader loads initramfs which proceeds with the boot

Was this on an initial boot or on a resume from hibernate or suspended state?

from initial boot.
i had done a apt update then apt upgrade, i suspect something went wrong there. one of the joys of using debian sid.
