Here's where we are for 12.04.3:

I tested the latest daily precise images from cdimage.ubuntu.com. They are now including the 3.8-lts kernel bits. The immediate problem I noticed is that the disk size for the 4k drives is not detected properly. The drive is 1TB but the installer sees it as 125GB. This got fixed in the 13.04 installer, so, it still needs to be backported to 12.04 with probably a few other fixes. The installer will also go all the way through without crashing, but, as one may have guessed, we end up with a machine that won't boot. I'm also unsure if the grub version in 12.04 needs any additional patches.

For 13.10:
It looks like everything is working properly (disk size detection, etc) up until we reboot for the first time...which isn't successful. I'm wondering if we need the grub2 patches I mentioned earlier.
