Christopher, I upgraded this machine from the previous LTS version. I'm afraid I don't remember if I was already using nomodeset. What I'm sure of is that I had unity graphics acceleration, which I'm now unable to get with the latest kernel when using nomodeset (it seems both things are related, I've read elsewhere, at least in 14.04).
I've just switched to an old 3.2 kernel without nomodeset, and it has booted properly the two times I have tested it (and runs with acceleration). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327772 Title: [Intel DH57JG] Early boot crash/reboot without 'nomodeset' Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When booting up it either panics or reboots after ~7 seconds. Please see attached picture of the panic. Since at least 12.10, this motherboard has required extra parameters to successfully boot. Previously it was 'nolapic_timer'.
