System not booting after kernel upgrade to 4.10.0-22, problem persists with 4.10.0-23

[Pierpaolo Pilla]

I am on Ubuntu Studio Zesty (17.04).

Since upgrade to Linux 4.10.0-22 system boot freezes, only way out is hard shutdown. I am currently booting from 4.10.0-21.

I can provide journalctl -b1 (where previous boot is with faulty kernel) on request.

Thank you

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Does the system boot if you select the prior kernel version from the GRUB menu?

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.10 stable kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joseph

Yes I can boot with kernel 4.10.0-21. I have tried installing kernel 4.10.17-041017 (latest v4.10 stable kernel) as per your instruction. The problem persists: boot freezes. Which tag is the most appropriate? 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream' or 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'? The bug originally reports inability to boot?!

Thank you

Pier

I have just upgraded the system and installed kernel 4.10.17-041017-lowlatency. I have just managed to boot with this new kernel.

Update after only a day: again system not booting with new kernel 4.10.17-041017... I'm back to booting with 4.10.0-21.
