Bug Description
Today I did our first production 14.04 to 16.04 LTS server upgrade. I had done so a couple of times successfully on test server machines. Upon booting up on the 16.04 system/kernel, after the Grub screen the server console screen is completely blank.
Someone suggested using Ctrl-Alt-F1/8, and indeed pressing those hotkeys does toggle through the tty screens.
There is no boot process logged to the server console screen.
I did have the last 14.04 kernel yet installed, so selected that one from the Grub menu. Booting that 14.04 kernel, then server console display behaves normally.
So I suspected perhaps a bum install of the 16.04 kernel. I used the following commands while booted to the 14.04 kernel to reinstall the 16.04 kernel:
$ sudo dpkg -P linux-image-
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
Same results booting the 16.04 kernel after those steps.
Hardware spec is an Intel Atom D945GCLF2D boxed motherboard with Intel Atom 330 Dual-Core processor and 2GB RAM. RAID is 3Ware SATA RAID.
