** Description changed:

- While trying to fix Bug #1432659, I updated the HP Pavilion 13-b208tu
- bios to the latest available on the HP website (F.26). After the update,
- the laptop no longer boots Ubuntu 14.10 or Ubuntu 15.04 (Ubuntu 15.04
- from the hard drive, Ubuntu 14.10 using a LiveCD). The grub menu is
- available and works, the kernel loads, the initrd step works, and then
- it hangs hard and requires power cycling.

  The required information for a kernel bug report can be found in Bug
  #1432659, from the original shipped F.23 bios. I obviously can't  attach
  information with the F.26 bios loaded.
  
  I can confirm that the bios update worked, and I have repeated it twice.
  HP diagnostics give the system a green light, and I can boot to FreeDOS
  as normal. I'll leave the system unbootable with the F.26 bios for a
  while in case someone can help me diagnose further from grub.
