Comment 27 for bug 1809843

I have attempted to test the kernel mentioned above and have not been able to; I enabled the given repo, installed the packages linux-image-5.0.0-8-generic, linux-headers-5.0.0-8, linux-headers-5.0.0-8-generic and linux-modules-5.0.0-8-generic and upon reboot was not able to start gdm. Fine, my nvidia modules failed to recompile for the new kernel, but when attempting to start networking I found that the sky2 kernel module was not present on my system. Indeed, linux-modules-5.0.0-8-generic does not contain sky2, even though it is built as a module according to the kernel config. Am I missing something? How do you suggest I test these changes?

Also, why is this titled 'verification-needed-xenial' and not 'verification-needed-bionic'?
