I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out what commit caused this
regression. We need to identify the earliest kernel where the issue
started happening as well as the latest kernel that did not have this
issue.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for
the first kernel version that exhibits this bug:

v3.9 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-saucy
v3.10-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.10-rc1-saucy/
v3.10-rc4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.10-rc4-saucy/
v3.10 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.10-saucy

You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the kernel that first
has this bug.

Thanks in advance!

Title:
  newer kernels (3.10+) don't boot on MacBook Air 6.1

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current raring kernel boots (with nosmp and libata.force=noncq),
  newer kernels don't boot at all. They hang with ramdisk loading and
  nothing seems to happen. This is difficult to debug, as it happens so
  early in the boot.
