Comment 24 for bug 1663991

Hello again, the gods must definitely hate me.

Your testing kernel got replaced immediately. Automatically. I do not understand it. I have never used any automatic updater and I always do all updates by hand. Anyway, the original kernel had been back with next reboot. OK, no problem I told to myself. I will wait for official update. I also didn't write it to you because I was extremely happy that the problem was fixed and did not want to disturb anyone with something what was going to be fixed with standard update schedule.

Well, the 4.8.0-42 kernel showed up today along with some other updates. Great! I updated my system with the most recent packages as I always did for years and years. But it was different this time. The system did not boot with the new kernel. I have never experienced this. I must say that my system is pretty clean and perfectly stable. I usually keep from doing anything potentially hazardous or dirty.

The good thing is that I still can boot the older 4.8.0-41 kernel. So I am definitely cursed and sentenced to stay with the bug forever. :) No, really, I was not expecting this.

Why am I writing this most probably off topic information here? At first, I wanted to share my complete bad luck situation with someone. Second, I want to ask you if there is any possibility that it can be caused by the previous kernel switching back and forth for the test. I do not think so but who knows.

I searched the net, checked ubuntuforums.org and I could not find anyone else with these symptoms. Maybe it is too early. I was checking the logs and failed to identify the problem. I will try harder later because I have to work now.
