LL 2.8 freezes while LL 2.6 runs well - nomko - 02-05-2016
Okay,
So on my daughters laptop LL 2.6 is running just fine. I tried installing LL2.8 on my laptop and although the installation went okay, my system freezes after a while. the only way to get things back running is doing a hard reboot (turning off/on laptop). LL2.8 is therefore unusable for me. But when installing LL2.6 on my laptop, everything runs like a charm!
Anyone here who might a clue why my laptop freezes with LL2.8 and not with LL2.6?

Could be the newer kernel messing with your hardware. Try 2.8 with the older kernel. See if it makes a difference.

This happened to me once yesterday while running you tube on 2.8.
Had to do a hard reset.
Computer has run for many hours since and it has not happened again.

Maybe there needs to be a "legacy" and "modern" release to address this issue ? I don't have any of these issues however I do see several minimal distros that have 2 releases for such issues.
*It would be great if at install a hardware probe would identify which kernel would be appropriate for the hardware, then install based on that to avoid multiple distro releases. Just an idea.
