Stuart Page, as per http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H87M-
ITX/?cat=Download&os=BIOS an update to your computer's buggy and
outdated BIOS is available (2.40). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.40

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  Kernel panick after installing latest kernels

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
    libx265-59
  Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
  0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
  Need to get 0 B/16.8 MB of archives.
  After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

  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.
