[Bug 1284085] Re: unable to boot after install on 2013 macbook air

 

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during
any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all.
Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request
further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm
if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel
and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add
a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: kernel-request-3.13.0-24.46

Title:
  unable to boot after install on 2013 macbook air

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Booting and installing from a live usb for trusty does work. However,
  on restart the machine will not boot. It hangs at:

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/behviox991o01o1/2014-02-23%2016.15.15.jpg

  Per apw in #ubuntu-kernel a test to add nr_cpus=1 does work to boot
  the machine.

  Note that wifi does not work at this point, but it does work in the
  live usb boot.

  For more information I did hit this with both the 3.13.0-8 and
  3.13.0-11 kernels as I tried to update.

  --- Original notes ---

  I'm attempting to install and run 14.04 trusty on a macbook air in a
  dual boot configuration. I have a Mac 64bit iso bootable usb device
  that I used to install on top of refind. The very first time I
  installed and setup it worked. I was in Ubuntu. I installed updates
  and some basic packages and when I rebooted it would no longer boot.

  I had gotten an updated kernel so I attempted to boot to the older -08
  kernel with no luck.

  I then attempted to reinstall. I figured I could avoid updates for the
  moment. I used the USB stick to do an install using the "Remove 14.04
  and install" option. When it was done, it would not boot just as
  before.

  I attempted to use the usb stick to rebuild grub using
  http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a
  -ubuntu-live-cd with no luck.

  I've tried setting boot params in grub of nomodeset noapic. When I
  turn off the quiet mode I get the following screenshot where it hangs
  very early in the boot process around "Booting SMP configuration".
