I was not able to test the kernel on Raring directly. The Raring boot dies early, and I therefore can not install a new kernel. I tried UCK to build a Raring live cd with the suggested 3.9 kernel, following directions from [1]. But the resulting image would not boot.
However, I installed the current daily saucy build [2]. Comes with this kernel: Linux ubuntu 3.9.0-0-generic #4-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 2 21:43:59 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Installing that build fixed the problem. I seem to be able to boot properly now. I'm therefore adding tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream' and mark the bug as 'Confirmed'.
