Hi Mark, By "hangs" I mean it just sits there being totally unresponsive to any input (keyboard etc). The only way to get around this is to hold the power button to do a forced power off.
BTW, the place where it gets stuck is when it tries to load to the Realtek 8139cp module then tries to load the 8139too module. Right after it loads the 8139too module it completely freezes. This does not happen on on Ubuntu 5.10 but anything after that does not work. So to install Ubuntu 6.10, I have to install 5.10 then upgrade to 6.04then 6.10. All the while, using the same kernel from 5.10. If I want to use any later kernel versions I have to blacklist these modules (8139cp & 8139too) to prevent them from being loaded on bootup. But this is kind of useless since I need an internet connection to do anything meaningful. This issue is common around the net as I did some research and lots of people are running into this problem where they cannot even run the Live CD of any ubuntu version after 5.10. I hope this answers your question. I cannot provide a log of this since the machine freezes completely. If you need anything else let me know as I'd like to see this fixed in Feisty before its released. Or else I will be stuck in Windows hell, esp. Vista hell since that is what this machine comes pre-loaded with. Regards, Nik On 3/6/07, Mark Reitblatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Could you please explain what you mean by "hangs"?
