I have to Dell Poweredge 730 systems running 14.04 LTS that will not boot after a security update last night (probably for meltdown). This article on softpedia helped me: http://news.softpedia.com/news/canonical-fixes-ubuntu-16-04-lts-regression-causing-boot-failure-on-some-pcs-519320.shtml Are more people here affected by this? And why me?

Regards, Nico

    We do not support question that boil down to a yes/no. What do you expect? 2 answers, 1 yes, 1 no and people upvote the one they ended up with? The 2nd question is impossible to answer by us. Questions need to target a specific problem we can address. Please provide information about errors, notices etc you get from logs onscreen or from an emergency boot. – Rinzwind Jan 11 '18 at 11:11
  • Listing all the machines and OS version combinations affected by the kernel panic bug introduced when trying to implement the Meltdown security hole fix would be too long. As such your question is too broad IMO. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jan 11 '18 at 11:49
  • "Are more people here affected by this?" you already answered this question with the link you referenced , the title alone answers this question. The second question "why me?" you are just luck enough to have a CPU affected by a rapidly changing situation where kernel developers at Canonical and beyond are trying to fix a problem ASAP. I am sure it will all settle down in a few days or weeks and moving forward newer patches will be better. – Panther Jan 11 '18 at 16:03
