Dear All,
No particular problems here (I run debian stretch on my box + backports).
More as an experiment than anything else, I pulled the 4.12 kernel from the backports an installed it, but the system turned out to be almost unbootable (I ended up only with a minimal shell and I could not start any graphical environment).
Seen that I have another kernel 4.9 installed, it is not a big issue, but does this problem with 4.12 mean there is something broken with my system?
I followed the instructions here
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToUpgradeKernel
Thanks!

Re: Debian Stretch and Kernel 4.12 (backports)
This is a common problem if you are running a proprietary video driver that requires the matching kernel headers to rebuild the driver. You should also upgrade any installed firmware packages to the backports version, since newer drivers in an updated kernel often require newer firmware.

Alright, I will try that and post again during the weekend.
BTW, there should not be any trouble linked to that, seen that I am not going to remove the present kernel, shouldn't it?
This is more me toying with my box than a real necessity

Mmmmhhhh.... I followed the procedure outlined herestevepusser wrote:This is a common problem if you are running a proprietary video driver that requires the matching kernel headers to rebuild the driver.

and I updated my backport packages and installed kernel 4.13, but again no luck.
Any idea of what is going wrong? I even used the commands
~$ sudo apt-get -t stretch-backports upgrade
~$ sudo apt-get -t stretch-backports upgrade
before installing the new kernel, but finally if I try to boot the system into the 4.13 kernel, I end up with an "emergency" shell and no graphical interface.
I have some nvidia modules but it looks like they got rebuilt when I updated my backport packages.
Banging my head against the wall, any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks.
The output of dmesg is too long to post it here, but I saved it as a file at the link

Hope this helps.
