Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2026-04-23 13:46:42 UTC 
In the logs you can see a subsequent build continued with the same build directory so this isn't a true ICE which should be repeatable.

Related to 16253? Same machine. OOM or hardware?
Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2026-04-23 14:35:15 UTC 
Let's see if this happens again in the coming months.
Comment 4 Richard Purdie 2026-04-28 22:09:38 UTC 
We suspect the f43 worker needed the cpu mircocode updating. That has been done and we can close this, reopening if it happens again.
