Public bug reported: My laptop will not boot into ubuntu if I start the system with an external monitor attached.
After selecting "Ubuntu" screen shows this text: alloc magic broken at 0xdfbb1680: ff2c001e Aborted. Press any key to exit _________ I am then forced to disconnect the monitor and reboot the system. However if I connect the monitor while "Ubuntu" is loading/loaded I can work with the external monitor without issue.
