Yes, this is a serious snafu on the part of Dell/Ubuntu. Dell has pulled the Inspiron 3551 Ubuntu Edition from their site. I was wrong about the bios setting, this is a strange bug. What does help is booting first into 3.13.0-57-generic then rebooting into the new kernel. Afterwards the new kernel will be able to boot from a full shutdown for some seemingly random length of time. The problem was introduced in 3.13.0-58-generic. Have you found other solutions?

It seems I've started a blog over at:

I guess I could git bisect this bug, but I had hoped for a better experience with a preinstalled Ubuntu Edition laptop.
