Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04.5, ASUS model 1015E, x86_64

When I boot the 3.2.0-99 kernel on my ASUS netbook, I pretty much never
get a working display manager.  (I think it booted okay the first time
after installing the kernel, but that's it.)  Usually I just get a black
display.  I have also gotten

- an almost complete login screen, except the background is wrong
(uniform purple instead of my wallpaper), and trackpad clicks are
ignored (but trackpad motion works)

- stuck at the Ubuntu splash screen

I once tried booting in recovery mode.  I noticed a message about
modprobe being terminated by signal 9, and I noticed several messages
about modprobe timeouts.  But other than that the messages didn't tell
me anything that I could make sense of.

I can ssh into the system.  Unfortunately, "apport-bug linux" gets stuck
(it still says "collecting problem information" after 30 minutes), so
I'm filing this directly on Launchpad.  I can get the apport
configuration information from the 3.2.0-98 kernel (that kernel works
just fine).  I can also collect any log files, ps output, etc. that
you'd like.  lightdm does seem to be running.  The only suspicious thing
I see in the log files is that Xorg.0.log is missing a bunch of text
that it contains when using the -98 kernel.

I noticed that I had an out-of-date BIOS, but upgrading the BIOS did not
fix anything.

Reinstalling the -99 kernel did not help.
