Public bug reported:
Today I did our first production 14.04 to 16.04 LTS server upgrade. I
had done so a couple of times successfully on test server machines. Upon
booting up on the 16.04 system/kernel, after the Grub screen the server
console screen is completely blank.
Someone suggested using Ctrl-Alt-F1/8, and indeed pressing those hotkeys
does toggle through the tty screens.
There is no boot process logged to the server console screen.
I did have the last 14.04 kernel yet installed, so selected that one
from the Grub menu. Booting that 14.04 kernel, then server console
display behaves normally.
So I suspected perhaps a bum install of the 16.04 kernel. I used the
following commands while booted to the 14.04 kernel to reinstall the
16.04 kernel:
$ sudo dpkg -P linux-image-4.4.0-59-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-59-generic
linux-image-generic
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
Same results booting the 16.04 kernel after those steps.
Hardware spec is an Intel Atom D945GCLF2D boxed motherboard with Intel
Atom 330 Dual-Core processor and 2GB RAM. RAID is 3Ware SATA RAID.
