Title: Ubuntu 13.10 + 14.04 Catastrophic Random Kernel Crashes on Boot with ASUS UEFI Motherboards Status in systemd: New Status in “efibootmgr” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: System Specs: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX (with the latest BIOS) AMD FX-8120 AMD Radeon HD 7950 240GB Seagate SSD (20GiB / partition) 2TB WD HDD (/home) The same issues are present both with GPT UEFI and simple MBR non-UEFI installs. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 three times and each met the same fate. The first time you boot into the system after installing it, it works fine (maybe). However, after you reboot the system it will fail on such a grand catastrophic scale that you can't even boot into recovery mode since that will begin spamming error messages quickly as well. It does not output anything to logs during these errors so the only thing you have to go by are screenshots of the errors. In general the errors are all indicating issues with systemd-udevd. I also had similar problems in Ubuntu 13.10, plus some extra problems. Ubuntu 13.10 fails at installing grub and the grub-efi-amd64 and outputs tons of errors regarding efibootmgr. It isn't related to the kernel since Ubuntu 13.04 with kernel 3.12 works perfectly. It also doesn't seem to be related to firmware since I use linux-firmware-1.117 on Ubuntu 13.04 as well. It may be a bug related to efibootmgr and systemd.
