Comment 37 for bug 1700657

Instructions in post #30 did not work for me. In fact, my machine now won't boot.

Fresh install of kubuntu 16.04.

Downloaded the 3 .deb files, dpkg -i them all
Downloaded the .ko file and copied over the specified location

System boots into busybox command prompt

Choosing the previous kernel, safe mode or not, from grub menu and the system stops booting after printing "Loading initial ramdisk"

No big deal, I'll reinstall and use a mouse until the kernel makes it into the repositories.

When can we expect an apt dist-upgrade to get the patched/fixed kernels?
