This may be the bug that is affecting me. 
I have a Lenovo Carbon 2. During about half the kernel updates in Utopic, the 
computer subsequently refused to boot.  AT ALL. 
I had the bios setting set to dual, with UEFI first and legacy second. But 
changing bios setting to "legacy" did not work. 
My only solution was to re-install with a different kernel. 
(I went back to Trusty, which worked.)
I have another Lenovo computer that did not have this problem at all, runs 
Utopic like a champ, with every update. 
I have been unable to file a bug report because I seem to have no useful 
information.

I am worried because today, 10/29 Trusty installed kernel 39 during my morning 
updates. So I ran update-grub immediately to ascertain which kernel I was 
currently running, and which I would next boot into. 
My currently working kernel is 37. 
(You will note that I have lowlatency installed too. I have tested. There is no 
difference in boot behavior between low-latency and generic. )

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-lowlatency
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-39-lowlatency
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-39-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-37-lowlatency
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-37-lowlatency
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-37-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-37-generic
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
done

If I shut my computer down and then re-boot and I cannot boot, which is
what I expect will happen, I will update this comment.
