Hello,
I had been using guestmount to mount a raw image and it has been working
great until I updated the kernel on 01/10/2018. I am running ubuntu 16.04
LTS, and have changed the read permissions to the vmlinuz as I have done
with previous kernels. The only change to my system between working and not
working is the kernel update from this morning. I am concerned this might
be related to the intel issues and the patch, which is probably in the
kernel update I just applied.
This is caused by a bug in the way that supermin created symlinks
which is not compatible with the new kernel:
291 l bzfgrep 120777 6 0:0 -> \x1c\v
You need to upgrade to the new supermin which fixes this.

I don't know if Ubuntu has this fix, if not you will need to add it.
