Public bug reported: After upgrading the kernel to 3.11.0-17-generic, my machine won't boot. It just shows a dark purple screen. No boot splash appears. If I boot the recovery kernel it ends up repeating this message over and over again: nfsmount: need a path
If I choose to boot 3.11.0-15-generic instead, the machine is booted up within 10 seconds and works fine. I am unable to switch to other consoles when trying to boot 3.11.0-17, so I can't find any error messages, but from messages given by the recovery kernel, it is probably doing the same thing (trying for a network root instead of the harddrive) over and over again. It would seem that it can't figure out how to talk to the harddrive? I am doing EFI boot on a Samsung 840 SSD and the root partition is a standard ext4 created automatically by Ubuntu 12.04 install.
