 modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 crashes the system. I tried various thinks but
same. I could not use openCV to capture the images. However
raspicam_node (https://github.com/fpasteau/raspicam_node) able is
capturing images from the camera.

HARDWARE: Raspberry Pi3
Camera: picam v2
uname -vr output: 4.4.0-1080-raspi2 #88-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 11 14:23:15 UTC 2017

  Recent updates broke Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 3

Bug description:
  Hello,
  I've been running Raspberry Pi 3 with Ubuntu as described here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi

  I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 and then upgraded to 16.10 and have been
  using this setup successfully since October up until last week.
  Unfortunately one of the latest kernel updates broke the installation
  and I found out the same happened for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - and therefore
  I can no longer run up-to-date Ubuntu installation (with updated
  kernel) on my RPI.

  I am getting this error:
  Error image is not a fdt - must reset the board to recover

  I also tried this but it didn't help me:

  Now I know running Ubuntu on RPI3 this way is not officially
  supported, but since Ubuntu Snappy is supported I thought someone here
  could know what is going on.

  Thank you very much.
