Firstly..... Oh My God! this bug has plagued me for 2 years! But now I can confirm that it is fixed upstream.
I installed 3.11.0-031100rc7-generic and now the issue is completely resolved! The only issues I have now are related to kernel modules not being compatible with this kernel for example vritualbox but I will tackle this in the virtualbox forums. Will this be the first kernel available in saucy? Plus how to I add the tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream' to this bug? Thanks again. ** Description changed: My Dell Latitude E5420 hangs when the power cord is in and the battery is charging and below 90%. This bug has existed in 10.04 and every version since. There used to be a work around: echo N> /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll but this no longer works in raring ringtail. Also before 13.04 I was able to still barely use the system and perform the above command but now the system locks up entirely until the batter is removed. I am currently using an up to date ringtail installation.
