** Description changed: - Hi, - I tried to launch the latest daily build of Ubuntu Lucid beta 2 on my pc: - d5c257bb85664afc97d62b04a5994f02 *lucid-desktop-i386.iso (06-Apr-2010 21:23) + Loading kernel viafb makes the computer completely freeze: - but after a few moments since, these lines appeared: - init: ureadahead-other main process (1095) terminated with status 4 - init: ureadahead-other main process (1096) terminated with status 4 + - The screen goes black, but not off. + - The cooler turns on indefinitely (suggesting strong cpu activity). + - The keyboard locks (the user can't even turn on/off capslock or numlock). - then launch crashes. + There are two possible workarounds for this: + + * With a Live CD, remove "quiet splash" and add "viafb.modeset=0" to the boot options. + * Create a Live USB with persisten memory, boot it on another computer and add viafb to the kernel module blacklist. + + ---- + + viafb does not work neither on Karmic nor on Lucid. + + However, Lucid Alpha 3, Beta 1, and Beta 2 were loading the module + during boot by default, a regression from Karmic (Fix Released)
