payload, because Samsung does not easily reveal what the latest BIOS is for this model, could you please download the latest firmware software as per http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/NP530U3C-A0MDE-downloads, and advise if a BIOS update is available? If so, when you update to this, does it change anything?  If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  panic during boot – 3.8.0-26

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I attached screenshots of the panic.

  on 13.04 during boot, somewhere during starting of /etc/init/ services kernel 3.8.0-19 and 3.8.0-26 panics. I made a quick search but didn't found a related report. Though I found a quick fix in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1144322
  I installed 3.7.0 as mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1144322/comments/23
  to keep on working.

  I can't use `ubuntu-bug linux` cause I can't boot with the panicing
  kernel.

  * Boot never succeeds
  * but sometimes it shows a panic trace
  * sometimes it flickers to black or to frozen mouse pointer like shown in vid.mp4
  * once it showed a panic trace and after some seconds it printed even more screen filling stack trace, and when again even more

  Though I spotted panics with 3.8.0-19, I only did screenshots and
  multiple boots with 3.8.0-26.

  This is new, introduced since do-release-upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04
  yesterday.

  Please contact me when I can provide more information.
