OK, this broke for me too going to Intrepid. My system hung unless I removed "splash" from the boot options. Initially, I had the same error "failed to execute /sbin/v86d". However, installing it, did NOT fix the problem, instead, booting without splash, I now get the following:
uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-3) uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed wioth error -22 In Googling around, it seems that v86d is broken when builtt with gcc 4.3 unless you use a newer version (compiling it with 4.1.2 apparently works). See the debugging performed in http://bugs.gentoo.org/196848 for details. Unfortunately, it looks like Intrepid is currently using 0.1.5 of v86d. Please give serious thought switching to 0.1.8. I am going to try to download it and build it myself to see if it fixes the problem. -- v86d missing from initramfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273833 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
