McDebian kernel 4.4.17 update beta testing

[Chadster766]

I'm not sure but during video streaming the video seemed to periodically jitter. It was subtle and could have been my internet connection.

Please evaluate this beta:

Maybe not immediately remove the modules, all of a sudden some mistakes, and need to go back to the old kernel.

[Chadster766]

I installed it easy enough. What issues did you see?

Do you need me to upload a tar with the 4.4.16 modules?

[ValCher1961]

Yes, you are right, users need to remove the old modules. This applies more to me if I'm experimenting with new kernels, then remove the old modules shall not without tests. )

[Chadster766]

Maybe rename the old module directory during testing.

mv /lib/modules/4.4.16 /lib/modules/4.4.16.bak

[Chadster766]

I've stopped testing the kernel 4.4.17 beta because I was having intermittent webpages not opening and intermittent streaming video skips.

I someone else can confirm this that would be great.

You are currently using IPTV?

[Chadster766]

No just Apple TV and Netflix

Kernel Longterm has moved onto 4.4.18. I will have a beta ready for testing this kernel version shortly.
