I've tested these now (quite difficult to push them into an image not running self contained ...):
4.5 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5-wily/ -- seems to work: booting is ok, but no keyboard, no mouse. Unsure if keyboard and mouse are available for short, but the cursor blinks behind login, then jumps to blink under the "l" or login. At least once I was able to type "root", before the cursor changed position. Afterwards I could not enter any additional key. The mouse was dead either. 4.6 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety/ -- seems to hang without "modprobe.balcklist=intel_powerclamp". With it boots to prompt, but looses keyboard and mouse short after the prompt is shown. The cursor jumps to the "l" of login at that point. It is a few seconds. I was able to login once. The system is then accessible. sshd ist started in such a case (it is not, if you cant manage to login). I've tried the latest 4.4 kernel from 16.04.1 -- this one works. I converted CentOS kernels from elrepo using alien. They all worked: 4.4.x (-lt) 4.7.x (-ml) 4.8.x (-ml) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630245 Title: after starting ubuntu 16.10 -- no keyboard, no mouse Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Yakkety: Confirmed Bug description: After starting Ubuntu 16.10 keyboard and mouse are dead. Since it works with an older kernel but not with the latest one, I'd assume the newer kernel does not initialize the devices the right way.
