[Bug 1467068] Re: Linux Kernel acting weirdly

 

Samuel Bushi, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available
from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are
irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

+ Lately the booting has been troublesome. These are the things that are happening randomly:
  -It boots up normally
  -It shows up a kernel panic saying that it tried to read/write outside of some hd(0)
  -Grub Menu might not even load and the notebook just beeps continuously. This occurs mostly when I restart after a Kernel-Panic-hang.
  -It restarts and I end up back at the grub menu.
  
- I overcome this by selecting the 3.13.0-54-generic kernel in Advanced
- options for Ubuntu.
+ I tried installing linux-generic-lts-vivid. The first boot-up was OK but
+ the pointer was missing (It was still there, but not visible). After
+ that, the problem returned. The random part is getting skewed and the
+ occurrence of the 2nd error is increasing.
  
- Update:
- 
- I have installed linux-generic-lts-vivid. The first boot-up was OK but the pointer was missing (It was still there, but not visible). After that, the problem returned and I had to shift back to the *-54-generic kernel.
- The random part is getting skewed and the occurrence of the 2nd error is increasing.
- 
- New Update:
- 
- -54 is also showing similar behaviour, moved down to -53.
- 
- After installing the new BIOS, I am getting an `error:unknown
- filesystem` before I can reach GRUB2 Menu, But if I boot through a Live
- USB then restart (without doing any fancy stuff), I am able to access
- grub and boot normally (ie choose *-54) into Ubuntu.

- Output of the command[sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode
- -s bios-release-date]:

+ WORKAROUND: Use 3.13.0-53-generic kernel in Advanced options for Ubuntu.
