Chris Bly, thank you for your comments. In order for me to be able to
mark this Triaged, a successful test of the mainline kernel would be
best to occur. Hence, could you please test http://kernel.ubuntu.com
/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc7-precise/ ?
While this is not the newest mainline kernel available, it's the latest
mainline version designated as Precise, and hopefully will avoid you any
boot problems.
Thank you for your understanding.

a page of commands, then a blank screen with blinking cursor top left.
