Brian, I did a git bisect on the affected kernel and I think I found the
bad commit causing the kernel panic. Could you try building a kernel
with the change in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-
team/2015-June/058662.html reverted and see if it solves the problem
with Dell's installed Ubuntu 64-bit? That is add the lines with the '-'
in front back into step_wise.c? Build instructions are here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile. I find compiling
easiest by just editing the Makefile, then make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot
--initrd kernel_image kernel_headers. Let me know if you need help.

Cheers

Title:
  [Dell Inspiron 3451] Kernel panic after updating kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have the Dell Inspiron 3451 14" preinstalled with Ubuntu with a 64
  bit Intel® Pentium® Processor N3540. An update from about a month ago
  causes my machine to have a kernel panic on reboot. If I do a factory
  reset, it works fine, but when I run updates on the "fresh install,"
  the problems comes back.

  I replaced the hard drive, and tried reinstalling stock Ubuntu 14.04
  64 bit, and the problem persisted.

  I can install 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04.03, and updates do not cause kernel
  panics now, but I do not have a functioning trackpad.
