Chris, I followed instructions in email below, installed latest upstream kernel packages:
linux-headers-3.17.0-031700-generic_3.17.0-031700.201410060605_i386.deb <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17-utopic/linux-headers-3.17.0-031700-generic_3.17.0-031700.201410060605_i386.deb> linux-headers-3.17.0-031700_3.17.0-031700.201410060605_all.deb <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17-utopic/linux-headers-3.17.0-031700_3.17.0-031700.201410060605_all.deb> linux-image-3.17.0-031700-generic_3.17.0-031700.201410060605_i386.deb <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/%7Ekernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17-utopic/linux-image-3.17.0-031700-generic_3.17.0-031700.201410060605_i386.deb> Package installation was successful, unfortunately during rebooting I received a kernel panic, "no init parameters". Unfortunately, I am not able to proceed further, any guidance is appreciate. Thanks, Phil On 10/01/2014 03:28 AM, Christopher M.

When running on ubuntu, I am using touchpad exclusively, and sometimes the touchpad gets locked into selection and I am unable to unlock. I have tried hitting ESC, tabbing to another window, but unable to unlock. I have other symptons (cursor jumps to other lines of text when typing, cusor jumps to last icon on launch pad), but I think those are all related. I have tried disabling touchpad when typing but to no avail. It also sometimes seems that this sympthon sometimes survies a reboot. sudo xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DLL063E:00 06CB:2934 id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] pme991@tcllp-1:/usr/local$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 I appreciate any guidance or assistance.
