Title:
  Dell Ubuntu 3551: failure to boot without nolapic option

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
