Michael Murphy, would you need a backport to a release prior to 14.04,
or may this be closed as Status Invalid?

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

Status in “efibootmgr” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.

  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.
