[Bug 1424526] Re: Unable to boot from installation media
Michael Snoyman, could you please test the latest upstream kernel
available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will
allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.XY-rcZ
Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-3.XY-rcZ
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Unable to boot from installation media
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop for a number of years now.
When I installed it, I had to pass the kernel option acpi=off in order
to get it to boot correctly, both from the live CD and after
installation. Otherwise, it has worked well (obviously, without ACPI
features being present).
I am now trying to install my OS from scratch, and am attempting to do
so with 14.04. However, I have been completely unable to get the
system to boot into the installer without freezing or rebooting. I
have tried the kernel options nolapic, noapic, acpi=off, acpi=ht, and
irqpoll, in a large number of combination, and both with a BIOS and
UEFI boot. I also flashed my BIOS to the latest firmware, which seems
to have made the boot process last a bit longer before freeze/reboot,
but given that I never timed it, that's a very non-scientific
assessment.
I've tried booting with Debian, Fedora, and ArchLinux disks as well,
all to no avail, so I do not believe this is an Ubuntu-specific issue.
It seems that there's been some kernel level change since 12.04
causing issues. I'm hoping that there's some workaround or kernel boot
option to be passed in.
I'm not certain what the most useful information to provide is. Since
I'm currently running from Ubuntu 12.04, I can run any command that OS
supports to provide you with more system information. In case it's
useful, I've attached the output of dmidecode.
My motherboard is an MSI H77MA-G43.
