(Get the code!)
Sure, can do.
Because the bug seems to lie dormant most of the time in the 64-bit build, I've tried both the 32 & 64 bit versions of Saucy Salamander. I tried the 64 bit version 4 times without seeing the bug, but it popped right up with the 32 bit version. I'll run apport from within the 32 bit version later today (need to go somewhere with wifi).
I've installed v3.10-rc3 (64-bit) of the kernel too, and so far, the PCI system is initializing the GPU fine. Since the bug is still appearing in the 32 bit ISO though and a mainline build from earlier this month, I'm thinking it's lurking there. After some googling, it looks like there is a workaround for updating a Live USB kernel. I'll use that to try the newest 32bit mainline kernel too.
On a side note, I tried all of the kernel parameters from the DebuggingACPI page (with a mainline daily build from earlier this
month). While I did see one bad session, it was actually from a reboot where I forgot to change the parameters. I tried the same sequence of reboots (with ACPI modified, then with normal parameters) to see if the following session changed, but the bug didn't reappear.
