Public bug reported:

Whenever I install a new kernel, it will fail to boot. I tried
reinstalling the 3.19 kernel with

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.19.0-49-generic

This produced the following output:

Reading package lists... Done

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.

After a while I tried installing the 4.2 kernel and go the same result.
I had posted this on Ask Ubuntu orinally and was pointed here. My
original post is at:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/732248/14-04-latest-3-19-kernel-causes-
kernel-panick-3-19-0-49-generic/732613#732613

I didn't use the  ubuntu-bug linux command because that would report on
my existing working kernel rather than the new one. For the time being I
just have to manually select older kernels.
