[manjaro-dev] Kernel panic on updated kernels

[kendell clark]

hi

I'm not positive if I'm experiencing this or not, but I've been having a 
really hard time getting manjaro/sonar installed and working on my dell 
precision m6700 workstation laptop. The flash drive containing the 
latest stable image, 16.07 works fine, but when installed the system 
boots until it reaches the dm (display manager) and then goes all black 
and nothing else can be done with the machine. I've been going around 
and around in circles trying to figure out what's going on. I use the 
lts kernel, so linux version 4.4, but the flash drives uses kernel 4.6, 
because I mistakenly thought that was the latest lts kernel. However, 
the installed system used kernel 4.6 until I removed it and replaced it 
with the lts kernel, and it wouldn't boot to the desktop either. It's 
confusing.

Thanks

Kendell Clark
