How to install 19 (or even 18) with the 4.15 kernel?

[inappropriate]

Hello and thank you in advance. To make a long story short I have a HP laptop with ACPI errors that I found only the 4.15 kernel is stable (5.0 fails to boot and 5.3 fails to shutdown). My question is, is it possible to install the version 19.04 or even 18.04 with the 4.15 kernel? I noticed the ISO images both have the 5.0 kernel. It would be ideal if I could get an iso with the 4.15 kernel. But in case I can't do that what is the best alternative? I suppose I could install the 5.0 kernel and downgrade but I want to fully test it out first before installing if that is possible.

If you install 18.04. 1 then :


<ubottu> linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional.
Version 4.15.0.74.76 (bionic), package size 2 kB, installed size 15 kB


Then again ACPI issues may have resolutions, not enough info in that respect to make a call.


we are all in this together

Sorry bud but I'm not following you. You are saying to install the 18.04 with the 5.0 kernel and then downgrade?

No.
Just install this image
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.1/
It has the 4.15 kernel already.
