Public bug reported: 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.

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.
