I can confirm that ubuntu saucy (13.10) won't boot on my Asus Zenbook Prime with the stock kernel but if I install the kernel from comment #72 then everything works.
Do I understand correctly that now I mustn't allow ubuntu to install kernel updates because those would overwrite the manually installed packages from comment #72? If that is the case than this bug is a security issue because it forces people to use a kernel version that will eventually get outdated. Is there any plan to include the modifications that lead to the packages in comment #72 into the saucy kernel packages? Since ubuntu used to work on raring there are now a number of users who won't be able to upgrade and will essentially be left with an unsupported system when the support for raring stops in January. As a reference for other Zenbook Prime owners: As far as I understand the only way to install saucy on the Zenbook Prime right now is as follows: 1. Upgrade the BIOS and turn off secure boot as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#BIOS_Update 2. Install Ubuntu raring (13.04) from a bootable usb drive and reboot. 3. Update to saucy (13.10) but DO NOT REBOOT yet 4. After completing the update, download and install the two kernel packages from comment #72 5. Now reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195483 Title: Installation, Live and Check disc do not start on Asus ZenBook Prime UX31A To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1195483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
