hello, very interesting. I have similar experience with KabyLake mobil-CPU i5-7200 on Lenovo 710S Notebook. I tried also Fedora 25 live 64bit and all Ubuntu kernel higher than 4.4 failed. 17.04 (build 2017-01-25), kernel from Ubuntu mainline 4.9.5 failed to boot. Only all 16.04.1 4.4 kernel and build (until 2017-01-25) works fine. With kernel higher than 4.4 grub start and crash with purple screen: "Loading initla ramdisk _" I documented here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/IdeaPad710s-80VQ0053GE-kabyLake-i5-7200-only-boots-Kernel-4-4-e/td-p/3552483
I use full-encrypted nve-ssd Intel 600p but also live-USB-Images don't work. Shall I raise a new bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1659340 Title: Linux kernel 4.8 hangs at boot up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1659340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
