Public bug reported:

This laptop came with Ubuntu 14.04 preinstalled. It is a Dell Inspiron
3551 15" Ubuntu Laptop. A problem was introduced in the linux-
image-3.13.0-58-generic kernel update which prevents the laptop from
booting unless nolapic is added to the grub boot command. This problem
persists in the current latest stable ubuntu kernel linux-
image-3.13.0-61-generic. This bug affects a clean, factory restored
install. The system passes all of Dell's included hardware diagnostic
tests.

Boot fails with:

Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009

The following kernels are able to boot without issue:
linux-image-3.13.0-57-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-38-generic

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
lsb_release: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Thanks,

Mark Standridge
