Same Problem as the Thread-Starter, though the problem occured first after upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy. After clearing the HDD i can't even boot from a Linux-CD (tried Ubuntu, ArchLinux, Suse...all in several versions, from old to the latest Intrepid Alpha iso). WinXP doesn't finish the installation, Win2000 works fine...
Tried lots of boot-flags (noapic, acpi=off, pci=routeirq) with no effect. On ThinkWiki there some suggestions that it might be the integrated Ethernet-Card (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_a_ThinkPad_X21), though after disabling it in BIOS bootup still wont finish. After removing the Card from the System boot from CD is successful. I'll replace the card as soon as possible and report afterwards... -- Kernel boot hangs on IRQ in Gutsy with Thinkpad X21 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147972 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
