Can you capture a digital image or screen capture of the failure your seeing and post it to the bug.
It sounds like we are seeing two bugs here. First is the system won't boot without smp. The second is that a regression was introduced in v3.10-rc1 that prevents the system from booting even with smp. Let's focus on the second bug first and possible open a new bug for the first. -- 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/1213795 Title: newer kernels (3.10+) don't boot on MacBook Air 6.1 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Saucy: Confirmed Bug description: The current raring kernel boots (with nosmp and libata.force=noncq), newer kernels don't boot at all. They hang with ramdisk loading and nothing seems to happen. This is difficult to debug, as it happens so early in the boot.
