My problem of comment #27 was solved by picking a 14.10 daily-live amd64
image (without mac suffix - 14.10 beta-2 happened to only have images
with the mac suffix).

Title:
  unable to boot after install on 2013 macbook air

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

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".
