Looking forward to testing another kernel. I am not familiar with Linux kernels and command line package handling (dpkg) but I can get by with 1) helpful suggestions and 2) looking at man/info pages. Also: I am very keen to help you track down this bug. DETAILS ======= These files were downloaded on my computer (turing):- ian@turing:~/isos/khfeng/2017-11-09$ ls -lhrt total 57M -rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 936K Nov 9 11:12 linux-firmware-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-3_i386.deb -rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 11M Nov 9 11:12 linux-headers-4.12.0_4.12.0-3_i386.deb -rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 46M Nov 9 11:12 linux-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-3_i386.deb Installed kernel on my Samsung NC10 Netbook (hawking) by copying the 3 debs you provided and typing:- dpkg -i *.deb Modified my copy of /etc/default/grub to comment out this variable:- #GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text Did: sudo update-grub FIRST TEST ========== Rebooted.
