Since updating to linux-image-4.4.0-98-generic 2 days ago, I get a kernel panic during boot. With 4.4.0-97 the machine boots fine. Screenshot attached.

I now ran "apport-collect 1730188" with the working kernel version (4.4.0-97). The panic occurs with 4.4.0-98. Hope that helps.

Same problem here since yesterday evening, when I accepted updates on Xubuntu 16.04 LTS!
There is a kernel panic on startup, because of package linux-image-4.4.0-98-generic.
Hopefully I can select an older kernel by pressing the escape key.
Any ideas where it comes from? I thought the LTS release would prevent such problems on daily updates.

[baptx (b4ptx)]

During the updates, I also noticed that the mysql-server package could not be installed.
It is due to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1490071 but I don't think it is related to this one.

Can you see if this panic is also happening with the kernel in Xenial -proposed? It is available from:

I got absolutely the same panic as on the screen shot in comment #1 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1730188/comments/1). It caused by missing /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-98-generic.

The problem was, that the /boot filesystem was almost full. I've removed all of the old kernels with the exception of the last 2 ones (.97 and .98), e.g.:

sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-4.4.0-96-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-96-generic

After that I've created the image file:

sudo update-initramfs -c -k 4.4.0-98-generic
sudo update-grub

After that everything worked fine.

[baptx (b4ptx)]

Isn't there an automatic update to fix this problem? If an average user wants to switch from Windows to Linux and has this problem, it would be bad a very bad user experience and I don't think the user would like to fix this manually.

[morphium (morphium)]

Thats what I think aswell. /boot should be checked if there is enough free space and the old kernels should be removed (no need to keep so many old versions by default)
