Public bug reported: The machine is the same machine as in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1616830
In mid 2016 I tested 4.8 kernels on that machine and they did not boot. (and same errors apply to current situation) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1616830/comments/5 Also Ubuntu 16.10 and newer releases do not boot anymore (as reported by a user, I think it is due to kernel). He also reports the same errors with the 4.8 kernel. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1616830/comments/15 It seems that official release kernels still have the same problems and nothing was fixed. There seem to be many problems with Ubuntu on Carrizo, black screens, random freezes. I myself experienced, keyboard problems (keyboard sometimes do not register keystrokes), touchpad works strangely, random freeze with caps-lock blinking, low disk performance (max 1.3mbytes/sec) and much more. I do not understand how hardware support can be getting worse and worse, but that seems to be the case. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: 4.8 amd carrizo linux-image ** Attachment added: "rps20170307_115150.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670624/+attachment/4832788/+files/rps20170307_115150.jpg ** Tags removed: am ** Tags added: amd linux-image -- 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/1670624 Title: Official 16.04 HWE 4.8 kernels do not boot (4.4 was booting) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The machine is the same machine as in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1616830 In mid 2016 I tested 4.8 kernels on that machine and they did not boot.
