I get a grey rectangle displayed, centred, filling most of the screen, and the system hangs. When booting into rescue mode without kernel parameters quiet, splash, vt.redirect, etc., I would see something like: > Loading vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic... > Loading initrd.img-3.13.0-27-generic... Then the system hangs. When I reboot I'm dropped into the GRUB menu. To boot in EFI mode, I keep linux-image-3.13.0-19-generic around - which works fine. WORKAROUND: Booting using kernel boot parameter noefi, however gfx and disk performance suffers, and features such as the monitor brightness keys fail to work altogether.
