Title:
  server is stable under older kernel (3.2.0-29.46), but crashes under
  newer kernels

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My PC is stable running Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 LTS using the old kernel
  3.2.0-29.46. But it crashes whenever I tried to update the kernel to
  3.2.0-65.99 or higher (including 14.04.2 LTS). So somewhere between
  3.2.0-29.46 and 3.2.0-65.99, changes to the kernel caused my PC to
  crash (note: I have not tried kernels older than 3.2.0-65.99, so I
  don't know the exact version that started to cause the crash).

  I think this is likely a hardware compatibility issue since I could
  not find any system logs regarding the crashes.

  My PC is very old (Compaq Evo D510 SFF/07E4h, BIOS 68602 v2.14
  08/15/2002), so I am not sure if this bug is worth troubleshooting.

  In the meantime, I am happy with the performance of my PC running 3.2.0-29.46. But if anyone is interested in troubleshooting this bug, please let me know.
