FWIW, Andrew Aylett's patched openchrome module did not resolve the problem for me. You can find his patch at https://launchpad.net/~andrew- aylett/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/608672/+listing-archive-extra .
In addition to disabling the WLAN device in BIOS, I can also boot into single user mode, "modprobe -r wl; modprobe -r ssb" and then continue booting and avoid the hard lock. This problem looks superficially similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331952 however, that bug references the Jaunty kernel not the Karmic one. It seems like the wl module and the openchrome module are stomping on each-others toes; but, I am not sophisticated enough to debug their operations. For those of us on the Mininote 2133 platform, this is a killer bug, since netbooks without WiFi lose much of their appeal. -- [HP 2133] wl module causes hard lock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
