Installing 4.4.19-041409 does not seem to work on my Dell Dimension E521, which is to say that I am able to download the packages from kernel.ubuntu.com, and install them apparently successfully. However, the system will not boot that kernel.

I am able to boot 4.10.0-42 (from Ubuntu 16.10) but then I cannot login to the desktop. I can, however, log in to a shell. But my BIOS is still frotzed.

Disabling downloads of 17.10 is nice, but I was in Ubuntu 16.10 and was prompted to Upgrade, so I did. Why was the upgrade option not disabled?

Meh.
