I don't know whether it is relevant, but I ran an apt-get update / apt- get upgrade today and since then I cannot boot anymore at all on the newer kernels. I always see the messages now that you see on the images. The only kernel I was able to boot, is "4.2.0-19-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 11 11:39:30 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux". I guess it has something to do with Ubuntu updates that is not aware of the newer kernels, but still I thought, I better mention it.
Those were the packages that I updated today: 2015-12-10 09:28:18 install libaudio2:amd64 1.9.4-3 1.9.4-3 2015-12-10 09:28:18 install libgsoap7:amd64 <none> 2.8.22-1 2015-12-10 09:28:18 install libmysqlclient18:amd64 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 2015-12-10 09:28:19 install dkms:all <none> 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu6.1 2015-12-10 09:28:19 install libqt4-network:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:19 install libqt4-script:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:20 install libqt4-sql:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:20 install libqt4-xmlpatterns:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:20 install libqtgui4:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:21 install libqt4-declarative:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:22 install libqt4-opengl:amd64 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:22 install libqt4-sql-mysql:amd64 <none> 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu8 2015-12-10 09:28:22 install libvncserver1:amd64 <none> 0.9.10+dfsg-3 2015-12-10 09:28:22 install virtualbox-dkms:all <none> 5.0.10-dfsg-2ubuntu1 2015-12-10 09:28:23 install virtualbox:amd64 <none> 5.0.10-dfsg-2ubuntu1 2015-12-10 09:28:25 install virtualbox-qt:amd64 <none> 5.0.10-dfsg-2ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516215 Title: kernel 4.x has issues with lite-on sata controller in dell xps 13 (2015) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a Dell XPS 13 (2015) which has a Lite-On Sata controller: 03:00.0 SATA controller: Lite-On Technology Corporation Device 0224 (rev 10) Right from the beginning, I have issues with that one under Linux (not Windows). It might happen that the notebook just dies (loosing its SSD), or it might not even boot. Whenever it does not boot, it usually stops with a message around "job 1 of 12 ..." (I don't find them in any logs ). Sometimes when I boot into Windows and then immediately reboot into Linux it works. It usually helps to boot a 3.19.x kernel, although even that one can have the same issues (although way less than 4.x). The system almost always crashes completely when I run the dump tool.
