virtualbox working fine.  Bluetooth connected immediately.
Stellarium crashed on this machine as well but celestia worked, probably because it is a local rebuild from some time back.  Note that at the time celestia worked in Cauldron.  A later version of stellarium is working in Cauldron at present.  So, these may be build problems - nothing to do with the kernel.  Kstars is working fine.

MGA6-32 MATE on IBM Thinkpad R50e
No installation issues. Deleted older version in the same go.
At rebooting, the grub selection was upset, the default (and some of the items in the advanced section) pointing to versions that aren't there anymore.
The 106 version was however in the Advanced section, selecting that went OK, then let MCC define the startup, and that restored normal grub selection.
After startup, internet connection is OK, tried various files (images, docs, spreadsheet, pdf, txt) all OK.

description: |
  This kernel update is based on the upstream 4.14.106 and fixes atleast
  the following security issue:

  In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacks
  a check for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for attackers
  to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is
  related to a capability check for the wrong task (CVE-2019-9213).

  It also adds a preparatory fix for Skylake systems that will receive a
  microcode update at a later date to address a TSX errata.

  WireGuard has been updated to 0.0.20190227.

  For other uptstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.
