Testing 4.4-rc6 had the difference in result that after the fan went on max speed (unlike when booting on 3.19.0-25) and hdd was working - after a while the blue XUbuntu screen with the spinning wheel came up. After that the screen went black again and hdd stopped.
4.3.3 was same result but without the blue XUbuntu screen. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists- upstream-4.3.3 kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.4-rc6 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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/1529381 Title: Updating 14.04.3 to latest updates renders system unbootable Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce (on this hardware) 1) Install 14.04.3 LTS (Ubuntu or XUbuntu) 2) Install updates 3) Reboot The kernel used after update is 3.19.0-42. Booting with the kernel that came with the install image (3.19.0-25) works fine. This computer is a HP Compaq 6715s. I have looked at HPs support pages for BIOS updates for this model but none was available.
