This bug is ***NOT FIXED!*** I've just confirmed it still exists on two
systems. Note that the bug is specific to the 3.13 kernel series (it
does not affect 4.4 or other kernel series), and to the EFI stub loader
(it doesn't manifest when using GRUB 2, for instance).

Dimitrenko, I'm afraid this bug is NOT FIXED. I've just tested with
3.13.0-123 (installed today via apt-get), and the system still hangs
with it.
Joseph, I'm still willing and able to test more kernels.

It looks like reverting commit 59ed4b6 requires several other commits

We know that this bug is fixes in Xenial. It's probably best to track

That's good news that 4.10-rc3 fixes the bug. I think it would be best
to perform a "Reverse" bisect to identify the fix that is already
upstream versus continuing a regular bisect to find the commit that
introduced the bug.
For a reverse bisect, we need to find the last bad kernel version and
