Comment 42 for bug 1875916

Ahoy,

on 18.04 LTS bionic I have been offered kernel linux-image-4.15.0-106-generic when using "apt-get dist-upgrade".

Since for me the last working kernel 4.15.0-96-generic is almost to be rolled out of my grub config with this new 4.15.0-106 kernel, I'd like to know if this bug is fixed in the 106 kernel.

Alternatively:

How do I pin the working 4.15.0-96-generic kernel to my grub config, so that further kernel updates via "apt-get dist-upgrade" don't roll my working 4.15.0-96-generic kernel out of my grub config automagically?

And secondly: Is there a similar "proposed" method as mentioned in comment #38 for bionic that I can test a proposed kernel with a fix on bionic "safely" with an *easy* option to roll back?

(Installing the provided test-kernel from comment #19, and trying to revert back to a standard kernel did not work out that well for me, see comments #27, #28 and #31.)

Thanks
