[Bug 1403868] Re: Lockup during boot with latest 14.10 and 14.04 LTS

 

Alex, as per http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P4PE-X&p=1&os=17 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1007). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Lockup during boot with latest 14.10 and 14.04 LTS

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A little more than a week ago, this as well as a similar other machine
  pulled in some updates and then refused to boot under 14.04 LTS. Since
  I thought the bug might have been fixed in 14.10, I did a fresh
  install last Friday which worked fine, until the system pulled in the
  then current updates and again refused to boot.

  There's nothing to be seen in the boot logs, but I managed to take a
  screenshot of the stack trace.
