[01:04] join [01:04] hi [16:44] since updating the kernel, I can no longer boot. I just get a kernal stack trace. Anyone else have this problem? [16:45] I am using 16.04 and have not had that problem... maybe I should update and reboot ;) [16:46] I am assuming the kernel update is to fix the Meltdown problem. The datestamp on the new kernel is 01/07/2018 [16:46] supposedly you can append nopti to the kernel options and bypass the KPTI changes, but this has no effect for me [16:47] btw, I too am using 16.04 [16:48] I am doing an upgrade now. [16:49] i am at work now, the problem is on my home computer, so I can't remember exactly, but the name of the kernel (w/ the problem) ends in -108. The previous (good) kernel ends in -104. Do you know if you are using kernel -108? [16:50] it says 103 [16:50] 4.4.0-103-lowlatency [16:51] after your update see if it says 4.4.0-108-lowlatency [16:54] or does it say 4.4.0-103-lowlatency after your update? [16:55] be back in about 1 hour [16:56] update is at 53% download... [16:59] It says it is downloading 109 [16:59] So maybe boot on the older kernel and reupdate [17:12] reboot... [17:14] ~$ uname -a [17:14] Linux music 4.4.0-109-lowlatency #132-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 9 20:43:47 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [17:15] zed1234: so I can't answer your question about 108 but guessing from how fast 109 has come out, 108 may have had a problem for others too.
