hi, all
I have run docker-engine(the old version) for a while. Today I tried to test docker engine on newest kernel, 4.12.8 and found the docker failed to start after the system started.
I manually compile the kernel and the OS-distribution I used is ubuntu 16.04-xenial.
Then I just uninstall the old version of docker and installed the new docker-ce.
The problem reported by apt-get install is shown below:

So, if the error is caused by the incompatibility for newest version of kernel or by lacking configuration options which I should have done at “make menuconfig” ???
Appreciate all your help and comments…
Thanks!
