[SOLVED] Can't boot with linux-lts

Hi all,

I've installed both linux and linux-lts kernels, the first one boots fine, the second one hangs during boot. The fist time it stopped by the line:
Reached target Graphical Interface

There was an error before that:
Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
My investigation led to this:

ls -la /usr/lib/modules-load.d 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     12 May 15 18:54 .bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      5 Jun 12  2017 cdemu.conf.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      3 Dec 29 18:45 cdrecord.conf.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     38 May 11 11:13 virtualbox-host-dkms.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    158 May 22 21:11 zfs.conf

I have renamed bluez.conf, cdemu.conf, cdrecord in case they were the cause of the error (cdemu wasn't starting at all) and rebooted again to linux-lts. I didn't see the previous error but the boot still hanged, this time at a line:
Assuming drive cache: write through (this come from the USB it is attached...)

with
$ sudo journalctl -p err
I see mainly ACPI errors. Nothing related (I think)
Any ideas?

Your title is a bit misleading.  Your system is fully booted, only X and/or your display manager didn't start properly.  You should be able to change to another tty with Ctrl-Alt-F#

I suspect you have not installed the graphic drivers you'd need for the lts kernel: let me guess, do you use nvidia?

Yes, nvidia. You' re right! I've replaced it with nvidia-dkms and now I can boot with both kernels! Thanks!
