Christopher,

not sure why you say there is a contradiction--the live kernel I found
on the iso was 3.13.0-24, and the linux-image listed on the page you
provided is also 3.13.0-24. again, if utopic avoids 3.13.0-27, they
should be fine.

regarding reverse bisect--it looks like this may not be necessary,
because there was apparently a recent update to the kernel--my system
now has 3.13.0-29 on it, and that does NOT panic.

so: 3.13.0-24 is fine, 3.13.0-29 is fine, but 3.13.0-27 is bad. this,
along with the panic backtrace, should hopefully be sufficient for the
ubuntu developers to identify the bad code, and ensure it does not
appear in any future ubuntu releases.

Title:
  Kernel panic (kernel 3.13.0-27-generic) on ASUS UX31A

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Kernel version 3.13.0-27-generic causes a kernel panic on bootup.
  This does not occur with the prior kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic, nor does it occur with recent mainline: 3.15.0-031500rc8-generic_3.15.0-031500rc8.201406012235_amd64

  Since this is a panic, I cannot run ubuntu-bug, uname, etc. However,
  the output of lspci is attached.

  The panic message (painstakingly hand-copied):
  Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
  CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.13.0-27-generic #50-Ubuntu
