Public bug reported: I am using linux mint 17.3 and I use ubuntu mainline kernels. There is some regression that makes booting from working system impossible.
I got currently 4.3.6-040306-generic #201602191831 (that is EOL and works as expected) I tried once some months ago to to build my own kernel and everything went like it should but I was not able to boot with it. I thought I did something wrong, but since that time upgrading every 4.4 and 4.5 ubuntu kernel has been broken giving the exact problem I had my own build kernel. I haven't tried all the possible kernel choices of course. But I have tried from time to time to upgrade more recent kernel. I havent been able. I have only been able to upgrade 4.3 series succefully. The system can read grub, the grub has been installed in nvme ssd, but the booting distro is on other partion of the same ssd. While trying to boot it complains it cant find UUID that seems to match my ssd and it drops into some panic shell where I am unable to do anything because of lack of knowledge. The lastest try was today with linux-image-4.5.0-040500rc5-generic (not working). For me it seems that 4.4 and 4.5 are impacted by this bug. That is related to nvme kernel change. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550274 Title: Cant boot from nvme hard disk (kernel regression 4.4 and 4.5 series) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1550274/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
