[Bug 1250321] Re: [ASUS Sabertooth 990FX] Ubuntu 13.10/14.04 Catastrophic Random Kernel Crashes on Boot

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Michael Murphy, thank you for the requested information. It would appear
patches/a patch applied to the downstream kernel is correlating to this
issue. Moving back to linux (Ubuntu) as this was a mis-toggle on my end.

** Description changed:

- System Specs:
+ The same issues are present both with GPT UEFI and simple MBR non-UEFI
+ installs. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 three times and each met the
+ same fate. The first time you boot into the system after installing it,
+ it works fine (maybe). However, after you reboot the system it will fail
+ on such a grand catastrophic scale that you can't even boot into
+ recovery mode since that will begin spamming error messages quickly as
+ well. It does not output anything to logs during these errors so the
+ only thing you have to go by are screenshots of the errors. In general
+ the errors are all indicating issues with systemd-udevd. I also had
+ similar problems in Ubuntu 13.10, plus some extra problems. Ubuntu 13.10
+ fails at installing grub and the grub-efi-amd64 and outputs tons of
+ errors regarding efibootmgr.
  
- ASUS Sabertooth 990FX (with the latest BIOS)
- AMD FX-8120
- AMD Radeon HD 7950
- 240GB Seagate SSD (20GiB / partition)
- 2TB WD HDD (/home)
+ It isn't related to the kernel since Ubuntu 13.04 with mainline kernel
+ 3.12 works perfectly. It also doesn't seem to be related to firmware
+ since I use linux-firmware-1.117 on Ubuntu 13.04 as well. It may be a
+ bug related to efibootmgr and systemd.

  Crashes on Boot
