Title:
  Can not boot unsigned kernel on non-EFI system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello.

  Something wrong with latest kernel. Unsigned version doesn't wprk at
  all.

  md5sum /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic*
  cb54f5ab7d83a0f920a352e1f5c9f2c9  /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic
  2902c6e94b680dc5a068543b716118ca  /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic.efi.signed

  I've installed grub-pc and run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc. After upgrade-grub system doesn't boot. 
  It report kernel panic with "No working init found" message. This problem occurs on all my computers,
  not only hp touchsmart laptop.

  /boot/grub.cfg
  	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-genericroot=UUID=8727ca07-ad08-4a63-933f-506cd98c1d6a ro  quiet splash $vt_handoff # It doesn't work, reports panic

  I've found fix for this problem change kernel in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  on second .efi.signed version:

          linux   /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic.efi.signed
  root=UUID=8727ca07-ad08-4a63-933f-506cd98c1d6a ro  quiet splash
  $vt_handoff # It works, but it seems inaproriate solution for BIOS
  systems.

  Please pay attention.
