I have a 13" i7, and it fails to boot with anything newer than 3.9,
regardless of nosmp. I'm trying to bisect the change that causes it.
What I was wondering is if those who are running 3.11-rc have the apple
firmware updates applied or not?

Bug description:
  Ubuntu fails to properly boot on Macbook Air 2013 6,1

  Ubuntu fails to boot the 13.10 live image from usb without specifying
  acpi-off as a boot parameter.

  After installation is complete the boot process hangs at a purple
  screen. Booting into recovery mode shows that the process stops at the
  following:

  smpboot: Booting Node 0, #1

  I've tried 12.04.2, 13.04, and 13.10. I've also tried booting with
  kernel ver 3.9.8-030908-generic and the result is the same.
