Public bug reported: Under Ubuntu 14.10, I installed the latest kernel 3.16.0-28 and after reboot my system won't boot - result is blank screen. No console from ctrl+alt+fX.
Re-installed from 14.10 install media, choosing do-not-install-updates, and found that strangely this still resulted in 3.16.0-28 being installed - and thus same boot hang. System boots fine with earlier kernel version (3.16.0-23). I tried the 'ubuntu-bug linux' console command to report a bug with the kernel - however, this gathers information about the running (working) kernel 3.16.0-23 rather than the broken 3.16.0-28. Will attach screenshot of output of text error during boot. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-bug ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of text error during boot." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401943/+attachment/4279687/+files/IMG_20141212_153434.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401943 Title: Kernel upgrade to 3.16.0-28 causes boot hang on my system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1401943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
