Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
I have seen 2 different failure scenarios during bootup.
One scenario is:
[] the "loading ... " screen appears and as best I can tell, everything
is OK except for "Loading hardware drivers" and "Starting PCMCIA
services" both of which "failed". A considerable delay (minutes) occurs
at the "Loading hardware drivers" step.
[] the next delay occurs at the "Configuring network interfaces" step
after which the text changes from amber colored to white and the boot
process appears to abort with the final messages being:
* Checking all filesystems ... [ok]
/etc/rcS.d/S40ifrename: line 12: /sbin/ifrename: No such file or directory
* Configuring network interfaces...
udevd-event[3180]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for
'/sys/devices/platform/i82365.0/bus' failed
Nothing else happens after that.
Here is a second failure scenario:
[] I get the logon screen where I enter a user/password and press enter.
[] Thereafter, a blank brown screen appears and nothing else happens.
[] Pressing ctrl-alt-F1 (something I gleaned from forum postings) displays the
following:
[17179604.708000] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
The following may be helpful:
[] I am a linux novice, but I did use the previous (5.10) release with no
problems.
[] The computer was working with 6.06 until I used the system administration
"networking" dialog tool to switch the wireless network encryption from
disabled to enabled and back to disabled. I have never directly edited any
configuration files so if one is corrupted, the supplied GUI tools are suspect.
My computer appears to be unusable at this point.
Thanks for taking the time to read my tale of woe.
