[Bug 1058807] Re: Failed boot on Dell XPS 15z

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Tommaso R. Donnarumma, thank you for reporting this and helping make
Ubuntu better. Could you please provide the information following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot ?

As well, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (v3.7-rc2-raring/) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the mainline kernels archive directory daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.7-rc2-raring

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Failed boot on Dell XPS 15z

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Standard boot hangs on black screen (before the Ubuntu log is
  visualised). Boot in recovery mode works, except that the graphic
  driver is not properly initialized, so only inappropriate screen
  resolutions are available.
