No need to test the 4.5-rc1 kernel. Because v4.4-wily is good, we can not bisect between 4.4 and 4.5-rc1. It also means that the bug was introduced by one of the 4.4 stable updates, or by an Ubuntu specific SAUCE patch.
We should bisect between the 4.4 Ubuntu kernels. However, it would be good to also know if this bug was also introduced into Yakkey(16.10). Can you test the latest Yakkety kernel, which can be downloaded from: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/11765356 With that kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux- image-extra .deb packages. For the Xenial bisect, the kernels we need to test are all available from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/linux What we would need to do is test the kernels and find the earliest kernel that does not have the bug, then the first that does. Then we would bisect between those two versions to find the offending commit. -- 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/1656605 Title: No server console display after Grub screen until fully booted and pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1/8 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: Today I did our first production 14.04 to 16.04 LTS server upgrade. I had done so a couple of times successfully on test server machines. Upon booting up on the 16.04 system/kernel, after the Grub screen the server console screen is completely blank. Someone suggested using Ctrl-Alt-F1/8, and indeed pressing those hotkeys does toggle through the tty screens. There is no boot process logged to the server console screen. I did have the last 14.04 kernel yet installed, so selected that one from the Grub menu. Booting that 14.04 kernel, then server console display behaves normally. So I suspected perhaps a bum install of the 16.04 kernel. I used the following commands while booted to the 14.04 kernel to reinstall the 16.04 kernel: $ sudo dpkg -P linux-image-4.4.0-59-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-59-generic linux-image-generic $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic Same results booting the 16.04 kernel after those steps.
