Bug Description
Since Ubuntu 11.04 my Thinkpad L520 i7 has required the 'noapic' boot flag to be set in order to boot successfully. When I first upgraded to 12.04 on 2011-12-13 this flag was not required to boot into 12.04. But an update sometime in January 2012 has caused a regression somewhere and now the 'noapic' flag is again required.
This is quite frustraiting and will mean any new users who don't know anything about boot flags will be unable to install Ubuntu on their laptops.
