Mark Standridge, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version. If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bisect-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1482273 Title: Dell Ubuntu 3551: failure to boot without nolapic option Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This laptop came with Ubuntu 14.04 preinstalled. It is a Dell Inspiron 3551 15" Ubuntu Laptop. A problem was introduced in the linux- image-3.13.0-58-generic kernel update which prevents the laptop from booting unless nolapic is added to the grub boot command. This problem persists in the current latest stable ubuntu kernel linux- image-3.13.0-61-generic. This bug affects a clean, factory restored install. The system passes all of Dell's included hardware diagnostic tests. Boot fails with: Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009 The following kernels are able to boot without issue: linux-image-3.13.0-57-generic linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic linux-image-3.13.0-38-generic Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. lsb_release: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Thanks, Mark Standridge ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-61-generic 3.13.0-61.100 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-61.100-generic 3.13.11-ckt22 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-61-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.11 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: mark 2223 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Aug 6 10:24:22 2015 DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is a distribution channel descriptor # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-somerville-trusty-amd64-20140620-0 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=00b41433-b7f7-4ddb-83c4-fca2ea939b57 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-06-18 (48 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20140620-04:25 MachineType: Dell Inc.
