["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mark Standridge, could you please test the latest upstream kernel
available from the very top line at the top of the page from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder)? Install instructions are available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel 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 issue 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-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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
