Public bug reported:
When booting off the Ubuntu 7.04 beta Live CD, X cannot start. Here are
my system specs:
HP Compaq nw8440
Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz
1 GB RAM
ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 graphics controller with 256 MB of video memory
WiFi with a BCM4311 chipset
I've checked the CD for defects (none found), and attempted to boot both in
normal mode and safe graphics mode. Kubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 both boot correctly
with the VESA driver (the free ATI driver does not work). The X log reports
the following (when starting in safe graphics mode):
[...]
(EE) VESA(0): No matching mode
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
It also is having problems loading the bcm43xx driver. In 6.06 and 6.10, to
get wireless working, I had to blacklist bcm43xx before installing ndiswrapper
- and, from what I've read, in 2.6.20, bcm43xx is still considered unstable.
bcm43xx continues to die, and finally dumps out the following:
[117.572000] bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or
load failed.
[123.520000] bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or
load failed.
(It'll continue to dump this to the console if you let it sit for a while)
I cannot log into the system, so I am unable to get any logs.
