Been monitoring 3.12/3.14 commit logs and it doesn't seem that the fix is going to land in the kernel without backports. Apparently they are too old. It seems (from bug 1355044) that they won't backport a fix without a full bisection.
Here Bib reports a bisection range for the ubuntu kernel linux images: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1355044/comments/15 If you intend to complete the bisection, hopefully this link will save you time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1355044/comments/16 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1367064 Title: [MSI A88XM-E45][A4-5300] 'buntu 14.04.1 constant reboot without nomodeset Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Machine was happy with Xubuntu 13.10, but the software has been discontinued and I was forced to upgrade. USB stick with 14.04.1 would reboot continuously. USB stick with 14.04.1 server installs flawlessly, but then the server itself reboots continuously. WORKAROUND: Boot into recovery mode (hidden grub option) * Drop to root shell * Mount disk for read/write * edit /etc/default/grub: find the line starting with 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=' and add the word nomodeset inside the quotes * run update-grub and reboot ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic 3.13.0-35.62 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.13.0-35-generic.
