Bug Description

Since patching to new kernel version 2.3.0.44 the system is not booting any more properly. I see blank screen and no progress. I have to hard reboot the computer with power switch. Also Kernel 2.3.0.45 is affected.
Last working kernels version ar 2.3.0.41 and 2.3.0.43 a on my computer.

Attached I have 3 screenshots from boot up with changed options in boatloader (set gfxmode=text and removed quiet and slpash).

Two screenshots showing bootup with Kernel 2.3.0.44 and one screenshot shows 2.3.0.45.

The output logging is from Kernel 2.3.0.41:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.10 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Shorty after penalvch requested to try this in Saucy I had a new working kernel version from release update on my system installed - long time I did not update. I do not remember exact version, but since then surprisingly also old versions worked. To ensure I tried to boot up in old kernel versions (e.g. 3.2.0.44, 3.2.0.45) which had problems but old versions are booted up. It is a strange feeling not to catch the bug. It seems that it is lost forever, maybe it was fixed through other package in the meanwhile. This is what I think. Since these times I observed system behaviour and no problems came up anymore, I updated serveral kernel versions without problems. Currently running stable on version 3.2.0.58.
