[ASD]

Hi,

Identical to bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1249787?comments=all

Booting Ubuntu results in a divide error.
Tried via USB and DVD.

As per previous bug report: trusty booted and installed fine.

Regards,
Joachim

Joachim, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Given you may boot in Trusty, would this work for you, or would you need a backport to a release prior to Trusty?

Hi,

Although I don't mind testing, a backport would be appreciated.
I currently just don't have the time to get busy with Trusty.

Joachim, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Trusty Tahr.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
