I hesitatingly upgraded to 18.04, and the 4.15 kernel that it comes with booted just fine, so it seems like this issue is limited to the 4.13 kernels that come with 17.10/16.04 HWE.
This is what I have now: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 $ uname -a Linux thinkpad 4.15.0-24-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 13 08:44:47 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- 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/1751584 Title: Ubuntu doesn't boot with 4.13.0 kernels Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Edit: the 4.13.0.37 kernel doesn't boot either. My system won't boot with the 4.13.0.36 kernel. Yesterday it hung at a flashing cursor screen. I updated a few packages yesterday (see below) and today it hangs at this screen: Loading Linux 4.13.0.36-generic ... Loading initial ramdisk ... _ Booting to the previous kernel (4.13.0-32) seems to work just fine. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.3 on a Thinkpad T430u with an Intel i5-3317U.
