When I boot up the machine with 4.4.79 updates using default option, it is running in text mode versus showing the normal start-up image.

Otherwise, seems to be working okay so far.

description: |
  This kernel update is based on upstream 4.4.79 and fixes atleast the
  following security issues:

  Linux kernel built with the VirtIO GPU driver(CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU) support
  is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while creating a
  virtio gpu object in virtio_gpu_object_create(). A user/process could use
  this flaw to leak host kernel memory potentially resulting in Dos
  (CVE-2017-10810).

  It also contains followup fixes to the Stack Clash (CVE-2017-1000370,
  CVE-2017-1000371) security issues resolved in kernels released at end
  of June, 2017.

  For other upstream fixes in this update, read the referenced changelogs.
