@Miek Gieben,  What steps did you take to convert Ubuntu to EFI?  Did
you just enable it in the BIOS or something else?

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

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
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.
