@adamu that’s a macOS issue because as far as we know macOS likes to change your machine host names by itself and sometimes it sets them in an invalid way.

I will close this one for now. If anyone else is running into invalid hardware instructions, please ping this thread and we will reopen. If you are running into other issues, please feel free to open a new thread. 😃

if Livebook fails to boot, do we report it to the user as before?

@josevalim that’s exactly the culprit. Due to a bug we do not.

I was able to reproduce this locally. Thanks everyone for helping to narrow this down.
