I can install the mainline linux-image, but not the headers. This is true for every mainline kernel I tried. Here is an example of the error message:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc6-generic: linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc6-generic depends on linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc6; however: Package linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc6 is not installed. dpkg: error processing linux-headers-4.1.0-040100rc6-generic (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Also, none of the mainline linux-image installed showed up in the boot menu. Do you have some ideas on how to fix the installation issue? If not, then can you please propose alternative ways of debugging? Thanks. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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/1446724 Title: server is stable under older kernel (3.2.0-29.46), but crashes under newer kernels Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My PC is stable running Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 LTS using the old kernel 3.2.0-29.46. But it crashes whenever I tried to update the kernel to 3.2.0-65.99 or higher (including 14.04.2 LTS). So somewhere between 3.2.0-29.46 and 3.2.0-65.99, changes to the kernel caused my PC to crash (note: I have not tried kernels older than 3.2.0-65.99, so I don't know the exact version that started to cause the crash). I think this is likely a hardware compatibility issue since I could not find any system logs regarding the crashes. My PC is very old (Compaq Evo D510 SFF/07E4h, BIOS 68602 v2.14 08/15/2002), so I am not sure if this bug is worth troubleshooting. In the meantime, I am happy with the performance of my PC running 3.2.0-29.46. But if anyone is interested in troubleshooting this bug, please let me know. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.13.0-32-generic.
