@brianv, you should run dpkg --ignore-depends=binutils -i *.deb to install. The binutils update can be ignored (if you look at the changelog it is a minor version bump without api changes). Maybe you should try the 3.19 kernel: we do not have any booting problems while we are also on trusty. -- Y

In addition to the previous message, there seemed to be two processes running of the vss and kvp daemon (while there is only one instance of fcopy). This is weird (I think), but I have seen it before with other kernels. A reboot helps in that case. This can also be an explanation for the "received
