I am a little new to Linux and not completely up to speed. Ive tried googling this to no avail. So far it seems that the only answer seems to be to reinstall my system and keep the kernel at 4.4.
If anyone has any suggestions or would like to view the output of the make or config logs let me know and I'll be happy to upload the requested info.
I'm running Yakkety with kernel 4.8.0-37 on an older Intel NUC with an i5 and I'd rather not reinstall right now.
TIA.
