3.13-rc1 fails to boot on Samsung Series 9. 3.12.1 is fine and the last
mainline kernel that worked on it was from Nov 14th. It failed to mount
/boot and after doing a manually mounting it, it came up and didn't
detect USB mouse. Looking at the dmesg differences in dmesg, looks like
usb probe fails on USB mouse. I will start a bisect and let you know
what I find.

dmesg 3.13-rc1:
