Bug#931331: linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64: system fails to start to X even with nomodeset, restarts forever without
Package: linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrade from jessie to stretch
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Installing the shipped kernel
* What was the outcome of this action?
The system starts to boot in a loop
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Normal start of the system to X
I reported the issue already in bug report 914517, which got way to few attention, which is very disapointing.
This bug prevents me from moving completely to stretch, not to think of upgrading to buster.
