Title:
PXE booting Ubuntu Precise CDs fails to load X (race condition)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Three different machines fail in the same way:
I'm PXE booting the precise daily live CD [1], and if I let the boot
progress normally, X starts with the "low graphics mode" dialog. The
XOrg log shows an error relating to the drm module[2].
At this point, if I close the "low graphics mode" dialog and restart
lightdm, everything comes up properly.
What's interesting is that if I pass "break=mount" to the kernel and
boot into the busybox shell, and then exit the busybox shell without
changing anything, X loads the desktop perfectly.
I have tried:
* Different machines. I get exactly the same result across three different
machines running different graphics hardware (intel, nvidia, ati).
* Different ISO images (precise daily live CD, precise release DVD, and
quantal daily live CD).
* Putting the graphics driver modules into the CD initrd, so they're loaded
earlier in the boot sequence, all with no effect.
