Jamin W. Collins, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (2.55). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide

As a baseline, the 3.8 kernel works normally, with text displays on all six vts. Both the 3.9 and 3.10 kernel's fail in different ways and to different degrees. 3.9 - does not work first boot (poweroff or reboot) - works (if power drained, battery removed) - no console display (vts 1-6) - reboot

So it sounds like 3.9 final exhibit the bug? If so, can you test some of the v3.9 release candidates. We are looking for the last good kernel version and the first kernel version that has the bug: v3.9-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc1-raring/ v3.9-rc3:

I can't say that 3.9 really exhibits the bug. It no longer has text on the VTs (which is it's own bug), but can be coaxed into providing an X display if the right steps are followed. That's not to say that it's smooth or the desired behavior, but it *can* provide an X display. Whereas, 3.10 can

3.9-rc1 exhibits the same behavior as 3.9. That is, it can provide an X display if coaxed and provides no text output on any of the VTs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247967 Title:

I can assist you with the bisect. We first need to identify the last good kernel version and the first bad kernel version. Can you test the following upstream kernels and post back: 3.9 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/ 3.10 final:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.12 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix
