I have the Dell Inspiron 3451 14" preinstalled with Ubuntu with a 64 bit Intel® Pentium® Processor N3540. An update from about a month ago causes these machines to have a kernel panic on reboot. If I do a factory reset, it works fine, but when I run updates on the "fresh install," the problems comes back, and I don't want to damage the data I have on the recovery partition in case Canonical is able to fix this to make it work again. In the meantime, I replaced the hard drive, and tried reinstalling stock Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, and the problem persisted. I can install 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04.03, and updates do not cause kernel panics now, but I do not have a functioning trackpad. I am not the only person with this issue. It is really quite a shame, because I bought this laptop because it came preconfigured with Ubuntu. Dell's inept customer service and technical support (based in India) has been of zero help, and caused lots of aggravation. Is Canonical aware of how badly Dell is messing up its roll-out of laptops running Ubuntu? I feel really bad for Linux newbies having to deal with this. Can I expect the 64 bit version of the OS to be fixed so it works with this hardware? Thanks.

"I have discovered one cause of the kernel panic during boot that affects
this laptop with linux-image-3.13.0-61-generic and linux-
image-3.13.0-58-generic. Within the UEFI BIOS settings is an option
called "Battery Charge Configuration." Both kernels boot without issue
when "Standard" option is selected but fail to boot when "Primarily AC
Use" is selected. This is also the case with linux-
image-3.13.0-62-generic from the canonical-kernel-team ppa. Perhaps this
information could be of some use to others.

Title:
Dell Ubuntu 3551: failure to boot without nolapic option
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This laptop came with Ubuntu 14.04 preinstalled. It is a Dell Inspiron
3551 15" Ubuntu Laptop. A problem was introduced in the linux-
image-3.13.0-58-generic kernel update which prevents the laptop from
booting unless nolapic is added to the grub boot command. This problem
persists in the current latest stable ubuntu kernel linux-
image-3.13.0-61-generic. This bug affects a clean, factory restored
install. The system passes all of Dell's included hardware diagnostic
tests.
Boot fails with:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x00000009
The following kernels are able to boot without issue:
linux-image-3.13.0-57-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-55-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-38-generic
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
