Mike Gratton, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (3.15-rc7) following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional
upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream
kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this
bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc7
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.
** Description changed:
- My MacBookPro 8,1 (Early 2011, 13") will not boot using any trusty
- kernel linux-image-3.13.0-20-generic or later, unless the noefi kernel
- param is set.
-
- When booting linux-image-3.13.0-20-generic or later without the noefi
- param, I get a grey rectangle displayed, centred, filling most of the
- screen, and the system hangs. If booting into rescue mode without noefi
- (i.e. without quiet, splash, vt.redirect, etc.), I see the following
- (roughly, from memory...)
-
+ My MacBookPro 8,1 (Early 2011, 13") will not boot using any trusty kernel
linux-image-3.13.0-20-generic or later. I get a grey rectangle displayed,
centred, filling most of the screen, and the system hangs. When booting into
rescue mode without kernel parameters quiet, splash, vt.redirect, etc., I would
see something like:
> Loading vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic...
> Loading initrd.img-3.13.0-27-generic...
- Then the system hangs. In either case, on reboot I'm dropped
- automatically into the GRUB menu.
+ Then the system hangs. When I reboot I'm dropped into the GRUB menu.
+ To boot in EFI mode, I keep linux-image-3.13.0-19-generic around - which
works fine.
- To boot in EFI mode, I keep linux-image-3.13.0-19-generic around - which
- works fine. Booting a latter kernel works if I specify noefi, however
- gfx and disk performance suffers, and features such as the monitor
- brightness keys fail to work altogether.
+ WORKAROUND: Booting using kernel boot parameter noefi, however gfx and
+ disk performance suffers, and features such as the monitor brightness
+ keys fail to work altogether.
