I have recently become interested in the Linux kernel and wanted to compile it from source and run it on my system (16.04). I followed the instructions on
https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup
and I was able to compile the kernel using the default config in Ubuntu. I also updated GRUB and restarted my system. Everyhting went fine until I came to the login screen and tried to log in. The system accepts my password but then immediately crashes and I am once again presented with the log in screen. I restarted my system and booted into the old kernel (4.8.0-58-generic).
Now I wonder, is it possible for me got get the system running properly under the new kernel? If not, how can I uninstall the new kernel and change GRUB so that it defaults to 4.8.0-58-generic?
