https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90841Your bug report also mentions issues with 3.19RC1. Are you saying your issues are now worse than they were with 3.19RC1?

Note that for the "update-initramfs" issue, a lot of us get that one. Myself, I have become numb to it:

Hi Doug S,
thanks for your reply.
All reported problems are present also in the 3.18, 3.18.1 and don't remember any more if in 3.19-rc1 or 3.19-rc2.

With the 3.17.7 the situation is ok related to:

- After the installation of Kernel 3.18.1, clean installation of Nvidia drivers (340.65-0ubuntu1~xedger) on both notebooks results with black-screen after failed booting attempt.
