I'm not trying to use HDMI audio. I have simply clean-installed 13.04 on a Zoostorm (Clevo C5101) laptop - on which I normally run (and dual boot) 12.04 (which is stable).
With the stock 13.04 3.8.x series kernels I've tried the system completely hangs a few seconds after login, most often on the first cold boot, regardless of which app I start. REISUB works but that is all. I captured the above oops trace from kern.log.1 once.
A second problem with the stock 13.04 kernel I've suffered, which prevented me even getting a bootable system at the end of the installer, is that efibootmgr always triggers a (strangely non-fatal) kernel panic and doesn't work (nb. this laptop has an EFI BIOS and no BIOS upgrade is available). With a 12.04 USB boot stick I've got past the install issue with boot repair and an older kernel - now I am on to this problem.
I have no kernel problems on other 13.04 PCs at work (different hardware).

I was considering filing another bug because nothing is an exact match for my issue but this matches the only stack trace I've had.

I'm currently testing the latest mainline 3.10, no hangs yet but it's early days (3.10.12-031012.201309141044).
