["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yuv, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.17-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Description changed:

- * Machine was happy with Xubuntu 13.10, but the software has been discontinued and I was forced to upgrade.
- * USB stick with 14.04.1 would reboot continuously.  Temporary workaround: press F6 and select NOMODESET
- * USB stick with 14.04.1 server installs flawlessly, but then the server itself reboots continuously.

- * Boot into recovery mode (hidden grub option)
+ WORKAROUND: Boot into recovery mode (hidden grub option)
  * Drop to root shell
  * Mount disk for read/write
  * edit /etc/default/grub:  find the line starting with 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=' and add the word nomodeset inside the quotes
  * run update-grub and reboot

- Developers: How is it possible that something so obvious has gone into an LTS? You may want to
- (1) review your processes and maybe be more conservative in the choice of package versions for an LTS;
- (2) have some basic validation process before releasing an LTS (AMD's APUs are mainstream hardware);
- (3) prioritize the fix of such bugs (first reports are from half a year ago) or extend the life of previous releases (13.10 was just fine) until they are fixed.
