Comment 35 for bug 1460365

Thank you, Christopher Penalver, for your prompt response. I updated the
BIOS from 5.16 to 5.22 as you directed via the Windows Vista partition.
All aforementioned Ubuntu Linux kernels, old, new official 15.04 and
upstream now boot properly on the machine [and even the Debian partition
kernels] :) The BIOS update successfully worked around the kernel bug.
