Joseph, tried the rc7 and the -7 kernels on a new install which is at -12 level. The .iso boots to desktop so I do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 for a command .ine. The .deb's were previously downloaded with a utopic -12 which works.
With the fresh .iso install, no updates, did dpkg -i on the rc7. Booted, hung before anything useful on screen. If this is the kernel the 3.16.0-6 is based on, didn't work for me on the .iso at 3.16.0-12 level. dpkg -i on the 3.16 final to the .iso at -12 level. The 3.16 final (base for the -7 kernel). Flashing desktop on and off. No go. -------------------------------------------- Gave up and installed .iso at the 3.16.0-6 level. Runs fine for a development level. Did dpkg -i on the rc7 and booted. Desktop only. If this is the same level as the -6 does not run the same here. Rebooted with the 3.16.0-6 that came with the .iso. Runs fine like right now. In times past I've been able to install debian kernels even on ubuntu. No luck with the kernels in the post #38 on either installs at 3.16.0-6 level or at 3.16.0-12 level. Maybe there's something I should be doing instead of just dpkg -i on the three deb files and rebooting? ------------------------------------------ Let me try Alan Fry's suggestion, install the 3.16-12 which is the latest .iso, boots to desktop only for me, and then apt-get update to 3.16.0-13.
