I followed the steps listed on a Ubuntu page where you can convert your grub install to an efi boot. I didn't change anything in the BIOS. Sorry, don't have the URL at hand atm. On 26 Aug 2013 13:55, Joseph Salisbury joseph.salisb...@canonical.com wrote: @Miek Gieben, What steps did you take to

Converting Ubuntu to EFI boot fixes the problem! I can boot now. All CPUs are detected and the forceata stuff is also not needed. Note the function keys and touchpad still don't work (even with 3.11-rc6), but that is a seperate bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel and it still requires the nosmp option. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue as well, and may provide a quicker resolution

Thanks for testing. It sounds like there are two bugs. It sounds like the crash with nosmp,libata.force=noncq no longer happens with v3.11-rc6? You are now only having an issue booting without the nosmp option? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

Yes, that is correct. A successful boot with 3.11-rc6 requires nosmp. (note I compiled this kernel myself, this is not the ppa-mainline kernel) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1213795
