[Bug 1469490] [NEW] XPS 13, after dist upgrade kernel won't load

[Michel Verbist]

Public bug reported:

after a dist-upgrade from 14.04 to 15.05, the kernel wouldn't load.
I was forced to return to factory install..
Then afterwards, after the factory install, even a simple apt-get upgrade hung.
My system is a XPS 13 Developer Edition (2015 version)
