Kernel 4.4.261 doesn't boot (4.4.240 was fine)
by SeB30 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GE15)
Hi,
my first post on linuxquestions,
I have a running Slack 14.2 on old hardware (Opteron 180), today upgraded to new kernel and system hang at boot, freeze just after message Booting kernel (generic) or with panic not syncing vfs blablabla' (huge).
I was able to recover from DVD with kernel 4.4.14, removed 4.4.261 and re-do installation (mkinird + lilo) and found same behaviour with 4.4.261 (downloaded again and MD5 checked).
Unfortunately, I can't go back to 4.4.240 because package is replaced in /patches!
Do I need to build from source ?
So my humble proposal : keep at least kernel n-1 in install script, for recovery purpose (yes, I must have been done myself!).
