- While trying to fix Bug #1432659, I updated the HP Pavilion 13-b208tu - bios to the latest available on the HP website (F.26). After the update, - the laptop no longer boots Ubuntu 14.10 or Ubuntu 15.04 (Ubuntu 15.04 - from the hard drive, Ubuntu 14.10 using a LiveCD). The grub menu is - available and works, the kernel loads, the initrd step works, and then - it hangs hard and requires power cycling. + While trying to fix Bug #1432659, I updated the HP Pavilion 13-b208tu bios to the latest available on the HP website (F.26): + http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-13-b200-Notebook-PC-series/7527795/model/7597682 + + After the update, the laptop no longer boots Ubuntu 14.10 or Ubuntu + 15.04 (Ubuntu 15.04 from the hard drive, Ubuntu 14.10 using a LiveCD). + The grub menu is available and works, the kernel loads, the initrd step + works, and then it hangs hard and requires power cycling.
