[01:04] <studio-user931> hi
[16:44] <zed1234> since updating the kernel, I can no longer boot. I just get a kernal stack trace. Anyone else have this problem?
[16:45] <OvenWerks> I am using 16.04 and have not had that problem... maybe I should update and reboot ;)
[16:46] <zed1234> I am assuming the kernel update is to fix the Meltdown problem. The datestamp on the new kernel is 01/07/2018
[16:46] <zed1234> supposedly you can append nopti to the kernel options and bypass the KPTI changes, but this has no effect for me
[16:47] <zed1234> btw, I too am using 16.04
[16:48] <OvenWerks> I am doing an upgrade now.
[16:49] <zed1234> 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] <OvenWerks> it says 103
[16:50] <OvenWerks> 4.4.0-103-lowlatency
[16:51] <zed1234> after your update see if it says 4.4.0-108-lowlatency
[16:54] <zed1234> or does it say 4.4.0-103-lowlatency after your update?
[16:55] <zed1234> be back in about 1 hour
[16:56] <OvenWerks> update is at 53% download...
[16:59] <OvenWerks> It says it is downloading 109
[16:59] <OvenWerks> So maybe boot on the older kernel and reupdate
[17:12] <OvenWerks> reboot...
[17:14] <OvenWerks> ~$ uname -a
[17:14] <OvenWerks> 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] <OvenWerks> 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.
[19:34] <zed1234> OvenWerks thanks
