Just after running sudo dpkg -i *.deb, and before rebooting, the error happened. Since the new kernel isn't running yet, I guess this current kernel still had the problem? That's strange because I've been running for more than 24 hours, downloading lots of torrents and had no problems. I'm going to reboot now to test the new kernel Here's the output: sudo dpkg -i *.deb [sudo] password for lz: Selecting previously unselected package linux-headers-4.14.0-17.
