BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 23s! .... -- 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/1718936 Title: Can't boot Artful 17.10 live images on XPS 15 (9560) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I usually test Ubuntu beta releases. With Artful, I haven't been able to boot the image on my XPS 15 (9560) Dell laptop because the boot process stops half way. The boot proceeds properly if I pass the "nomodeset" kernel boot option but that won't work because there is no more hiDPI support and dual display doesn't work. This has been ongoing for several weeks, around the 4.12 kernel. Please fix it. It would be a shame for this product not to boot Artful out of the box.
