Re: Ubuntu 16.04 crashes with 4.4.0-108 kernel
I installed to this machine from 16.04.03 disk, so no major updates yet. I stay on the LTS versions. On 4.10.0-42 now. I don't know what the kernel was on the installation disk. A new kernel was downloaded during installation.
You can download a new install disk, Update sources and use it as a source to update your kernel past 4.4.0-108. Go to the Other Software tab of the Software & Updates utility in System Settings after you have mounted the new 16.04.03 (or greater) .iso. You should get prompted to update from the DVD when it mounts also.
I hope this is a better solution for you. Keep your kernel as up-to-date as you are comfortable with. Fixes for the recently announced CPU bugs will go into the latest project first, then backported.
