Public bug reported: Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed
Description: To reproduce 1) Install Ubuntu Dapper Flight 6 to Acer Travelmate 3004WTMi, Intel Centrino 2) System:Administration:Software properties - Remove: CDROM + Add: Ubuntu 6.04 Security Updates (binary) Community maintained (universe) + Add: Ubuntu 6.04 "Dapper Drake" (binary) Community maintained (universe) Close 3) (Both updates are done on 2006-04-09) $ sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade 4) Click on the "you should reboot" icon on top right corner. What should happen: computer should boot normally What actually happens: After boot, complete freeze on "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald" in the boot splash screen. All previous things on screen show "ok". The line is about 95% done. No keys do anything: caps lock, alt-ctrl-backspace, alt-ctrl-del, alt-ctrl-f1 (2,3,4...), mouse, quick power button click. Had to press power button for 10 s to shut down. 3004WTMi requires "noapic irqpoll" to boot, I checked that these options were still present in grub configuration. Additionally, also runlevel 1 is now broken: Tried booting to runlevel 1 with grub options "1". Stopped on "Sending all processes the TERM signal..." caps lock changes led status, holding tab creates disk action, can change to alt-ctrl-f1. After some waiting, more text was printed on vt1, eg: "Disabling IRQ #11". Still, there seems to be no way to get a prompt. -- Complete freeze on boot https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/38856 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
