I have discovered one cause of the kernel panic during boot that affects this laptop with linux-image-3.13.0-61-generic and linux- image-3.13.0-58-generic. Within the UEFI BIOS settings is an option called "Battery Charge Configuration." Both kernels boot without issue when "Standard" option is selected but fail to boot when "Primarily AC Use" is selected. This is also the case with linux- image-3.13.0-62-generic from the canonical-kernel-team ppa. Perhaps this information could be of some use to others.
