Well the good news is the 3.19 kernel boots. That's better than I've been able to do with it on my MX-14 install.
However, I'm not able to get it to boot in UEFI mode, it doesn't seem to detect the LiveUSB key when in UEFI mode. I had to change it to the legacy (CSM) mode to get it to boot my LiveUSB key.
Using the default boot option I seem to be stuck using the vesa driver at a 1024x768 resolution, instead of using the radeon driver at my display's 1600x900 native resolution.

If I add the 'noxorg' and 'vga=980' cheats it will use my display's 1600x900 native resolution, though it still doesn't use the radeon driver for some reason
Here's a inxi report using those cheats:

I think the reason it's not using the radeon driver is these lines in the dmesg report, the"*ERROR*" line in particular. The firmware-linux-nonfree package is installed, so I'm not sure why it spits out that error.
