Fails to boot on Lenovo G70

[Sami Laine]

A Lenovo G70 laptop working perfectly fine with linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic fails to boot with linux-image-3.13.0-43-generic (and linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic). When booting, last message is:

resume: libgcrypt 1.5.3

After that nothing further information is not printed on the console during the next 15 minutes. The failure occurs consistently when booting in "Recovery mode" as well and the boot process does not get far enough to even display the "Recovery menu".
