Thanks, maybe I will try the 4.2, but what about the strange things that
are going on, are they all caused by that kernel error?

Also, I could not run 4.2 at all when I tried it the other day, it would
boot up, but after about a minute it went completely bonkers, so I
backed off to the 4.1.9 as it may be supported somewhat long term --
there is a .10 already.
