[Bug 1488672] Re: [Dell Inspiron 3451] Kernel panic after updating kernel

 

Brian, Dell's dkms modules will fail to build unless the beginning of
the kernel Makefile looks something like this:

VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 13
SUBLEVEL = 0
EXTRAVERSION = -63-2015091101

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.
