after upgrade to kernell 3.13.0-33 system fails to boot properly

[Grzegorz Śliwiński]

after today's upgrade to newest kernel (07/12/2014 - kernel 3.13.0-33) system at first bot up, but the loading screen flickered heavily, but booted to normal functioning login screen.
I've turned it off - and the flickering continued on turning off screen as well. Another try resulted in my laptop panic signal. I was able to get only to bios for about 10 minutes - couldn't even boot up to ubuntu live from usb.

Right now I booted to 3.13.0-32 kernel.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 stable 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.

Thanks for the reply. I'll see how it goes after todays upgrade to 3.13.0-34 first...
Problem with previous errorr is that I rebooted to 0-33 later that day, and well.. problem did not occur again.

Problem haven't reappeared with the new kernel either.
