[Asus Crosshair IV Formula] kernel panic ubuntu daily image AMD 64

[Jonathan Brier]

I have yet been able to boot using a USB to the daily build for 14.04 on this computer while it runs with 13.10 (with some graphical corruption at this time). I have tried booting via one time boot with a single monitor and with all three monitors. I only see the initramfs dialogue:

Jonathan Brier, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) 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-v3.13-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.

I've tried the latest Trusty daily build for Jan 28 with kernel 3.13.0 -5 generic which also does not boot. There is a bit more verbose trace on the screen when typing exit which is the attached image. I was unsure how to add the mainline kernel to the live usb test drive to try a mainline boot on a daily live image of trusty.

I was able to successfully boot 13.10 with the mainline kernel 3.13.0-031300-generic.

[Jonathan Brier (brierjon)]

I'm not sure if this should be considered fixed upstream or if the issue persists upstream due to the lack of a test on 14.04 with the mainline kernel. The testing instructions were unclear especially with the removal of the trusty tag as this was an issue intended for trusty, but the saucy tag remains.

New attempt of daily image from March 6, 2014 fully patched for the day at 8:42pm Eastern time Panic still occurs

Includes last of the dmesg and call trace from "exit"

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Jonathan Brier, in Saucy, could you please test the latest mainline kernel via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc6-trusty/ and advise if this is reproducible?

[Jonathan Brier (brierjon)]

Successful booted with daily image 3/27/14 for 14.04 Not sure the exact day that the issue or package causing this was patched, but at this time this can be closed.

Should this be marked invalid or does the broad time frame of between March 12 2014 and March 27 2014 a commit was made to the 14.04 daily images that fixed the booting issue stand for this to be marked as Fix Released?
