Comment 8 for bug 1438708

Hi Alberto,
I skipped recovery mode and installed the kernels directly from my functioning 3.13 system:

ii linux-image-3.17.1-031701-generic 3.17.1-031701.201410150735
ii linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc2-generic 3.18.0-031800rc2.201410262035

I was unable to boot 3.18 due to it not finding the root device

3.17 looked like it worked so I immediately shutdown from the login screen and it then crashed so hard that magic sysreq didn't even work - I had to hold the power button.

Interestingly, last night after running linux 3.13 for a while I rebooted into linux 3.16 via recovery mode, where I waited for approximately 1 minute before booting normally and the system DID seem stable overnight. This morning, I powered the laptop off and attempted to boot 3.16 and it crashed during the boot process so the error is still reproducible. I'll leave 3.17 running and see if it crashes once I'm logged in
