[nova][ops] Help with kernel panic on cirros image boot process.

Hi all!

I'm having kernel panic randomically with cirros image. Sometimes the
instances boots, sometimes not.

I'm using Openstack Queens, Ubuntu Server 18.04 and KVM (following the
install guide). The nova/instances directory, where are stored
ephemeral disks, is over a GlusterFS system.

I've noted that other images, like Ubuntu Cloud Image, do not get this
error. It's just with cirros and sometimes.

I appreciate any help guiding on where I can look for to identify what
is causing these errors. I've analyzed libvirt logs and them show just
a launched instance, everything ok. The _base/<ID> file used to launch
the instances is the same that is used with cirros instances that
worked (it's in a GlusterFS). Something got wrong during the instance
boot process.

Boot log:
