I've updated the BIOS to the latest version A05. The kernel panics on boot persist in the Ubuntu Trusty kernel. 3.13.0-66-generic still often fails to boot. Patched kernels I've built have never failed to boot. ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-a02 -- You received this bug notification because you

I have tested the attached patch against ubuntu kernels 3.13.0-58, 3.13.0-63, 3.13.0-64, and 3.13.0-65 for over a month. Never once has this laptop suffered a kernel panic with the applied patch to reinstate the optimization to stepwise.c. It has never failed to boot. As I said earlier, I found

Mark Standridge, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions are

Nevermind, this bug is still present in 3.13.0-63-generic. I was wrong about the bios setting in post #5. The only reliable way to boot a current kernel with working smp is to first boot linux- image-3.13.0-57-generic, then reboot into the latest kernel. Kernels linux-image-3.13.0-62-generic and

I have discovered one cause of the kernel panic during boot that affects this laptop with linux-image-3.13.0-61-generic and linux- image-3.13.0-58-generic. Within the UEFI BIOS settings is an option called Battery Charge Configuration. Both kernels boot without issue when Standard option is

I can confirm that this bug is fixed in linux- image-3.13.11-031311ckt24-generic. The kernel boots and all cores function. The oem-audio-hda-daily modules failed to build due to a version check when installing this kernel. I purged oem-audio-hda-daily and dkms then attempted to boot the affected
