Hi John, After the kernel update, the pc is in a loop and not starting again. I managed to switch to the old kernel when Xen started. I resolved the wifi like this: - Download the driver for intel 8260 from here: -- wget https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-8000-ucode-25.30.13.0.tgz - use tar - copy the file iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode (date June 2015) on /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode (there was an existing file with same name and size, but dated May 2015) - restart... and wifi works!!! I will need to compare my Bios conf with your details. How should roll back the kernel change?
