Installed and tested on Zesty, Fienix, Debian and MATE. Boots fine on all. But on Mint desktop failed to load. Some issue with graphic drivers. Cursor just blinks in corner and keeps pushing itself to front.

Thank you for testing!
Have you seen any error messages? (Logs, console etc)
Which graphics card do you use with Mint?

My reply is slightly late. I checked the xorg log and that looked fine. But nothing else.

R7 250.
Boot into recovery mode and then
Thanks, that was it. Checking my files it looks like I already renamed it. But an update must have overwrite it. A possible solution is a dummy so lib protected against writing. I tend to update it when I boot it as I like to keep up to date.
However, once Mint was working again, there was instability with crashes. Pasted here:
[ 0.000000] ioremap() called early from iommu_init_early_pasemi+0xcc/0x250. Use early_ioremap() instead
[ 0.000000] ioremap() called early from pas_setup_arch+0x44/0x60. Use early_ioremap() instead
Should that routine be fixed up to silence warnings?
I've noticed this in recent kernels. Looks like a fail. Do you also see this fail to reset i2c-pasemi?

Thank you for testing. I have seen similar error messages in an e5500 QEMU VM.
I think the kernel developers have added some new problematic code but I don’t have time to figure out what they have done.
Maybe they have solved it already for the RC6.
Have you seen these error messages on all your Linux systems?

Could be common then. Mint is using extra packages.

I've found it stable for the most part. The only exception would be the random reboots on Debian. I don't even see this in Mint that is built on Debian. But on Debian I'm currently using Mate desktop.

Not all that I can recall. Just on Debian and Mint. Since the 6.16 series. Shoukd check my Yakkety and Fienix installs.
I've currently booted Debian in 6.15 in case it is more stable. I don't see those in errors in 6.15.Then again I don't see that i2c listed in 6.15 at all.
