In the mainline kernel install instructions i too had noticed that it mentioned out-of-tree modules could interfere with the kernel installations, and so i wondered if they could be causing problems in other ways as well. Specifically Virtualbox. I did not see the specific error message that the instructions had listed but i had planned to uninstall virtualbox just in case. It seems i forgot to do that.
I have uninstalled virtualbox and am testing 4.6.0-040600rc5-generic kernel again. Currently i have watched several youtube videos without incident, but i will keep testing. Is it possible that virtualbox is part of the root problem? Strange that it didn't cause issues in 14.04, but it would later. But not an impossible scenario. I still have yet to do the kernel bisecting as i'm still a little confused at the basic process. I think it involves compiling kernels manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575467 Title: [Dell Inspiron 3451] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1297 at /build/linux-lts- utopic-vy2yyy/linux-lts- utopic-3.16.0/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:1743 vlv_wait_port_ready+0x126/0x170 [i915]() Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading from stock Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 my laptop consistently freezes up and is unresponsive to keyboard or mouse. The only way is to do a hard shutdown. I'm usually in a browser when this happens, and often watching a video or two. It seems to happen more often in Google Chrome than Firefox, but it happens with both. It has happened at least once with no videos loaded. I haven’t observed it freeze / hang when I’m not in a browser, but that's mainly what i use my laptop for, so that's where most of my time is spent.
