at #3 - bios upgrade: considering the fact that such an upgrade is a sensitive matter, I feel that the suggested procedures are somewhat risky because not being really transparent to me.
On the other hand, I have a virtual win7 machine (32bit install) (under virtualbox) at my disposal. Maybe, you could suggest a simple, more transparent way for a successful BIOS upgrade by using this virtual machine? -- 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/1453593 Title: 3.19.0-17 freeze Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: boot with 3.19.0-17 freezes at very early stage, way before the appearance of login screen. no such problems with kernel 3.19.0-16.
