Public bug reported:
I upgraded from Xubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 today.
The new system fails to boot when I use the default kernel 2.6.28-11.
I use a fairly old Fujitsu-Siemens E6540 laptop.
It does boot without a problem when I select kernel 2.6.27-11 in grub.
The progress bar on the splash screen gets stuck at ca. 10%.
The boot console (with 'quiet' turned off) shows several errors (in fact
so many that I can't scroll up to the first one) which start with this
line:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 40646461
It is followed by varying statements, e.g. this one:
IP: [<c01b8c71>] _kmalloc+0x61/0xf0
I didn't write down anything further because I can't convince myself to
write so much with pen and paper, but I can provide more information if
needed.
New errors appear every minute or so when I leave the console idle.
It might have to do with PCMCIA, because each error says something about
yenta_socket, but as I wrote I can only see the last few errors.
When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, shutdown fails also with the same error.
BTW: The upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 initially failed at the beginning of
the third step (I forgot what it was, perhaps download packages?)
because "another process is accessing the package database" (or
similar), but it did pass when I tried again.
