Recent kernels that weren't booting:

4.15.0-33
4.15.0-34
4.15.0-36

With -36 I got a graphics error. Then I tried upgrading to 18.04.1, it never booted at all.

I can't provide any information on errors since the screen was black and nothing responded.

I have since restored my backup and no longer have this kernel installed.

There is something going on that all 3 of these kernels weren't booting.
