I had the exact same issue with Asus -> N552VW It would boot the livecd once from a cold boot, after reboot I got the same error as above and it would hang during boot, it would refuse to every boot again.
The workaround from kngharv worked fine however. Also I discovered enabling secure-boot also worked (although you have to disable that to install Nvidia driver) What can we do to make this work out the box on affected h/w ? I can imagine a newbie trying out Linux for the first time on their Asus laptop and just thinking Linux doesn't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530405 Title: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!
