Bug description:
  I keep running into issues with booting on a 2013 Macbook Air.  After
  grub, the kernel and initrd load and the system then just hangs with a
  blinking cursor.

  Removing the "quiet" and "splash" options shows me that the kernel
  hangs bringing up SMP, just as in bug #1197451 which has been marked
  Fix Released already (some time ago, actually).

  I get exactly what was mentioned in the comments about SMP hanging and
  have had to manually inject nosmp into the boot command when I boot
  the machine.
