** Description changed: - Ubuntu Oneiric Beta 1, fully updated. Sometimes at startup, after the - GRUB2 menu, the system hangs at a blinking cursor with no hard drive - activity. This does not happen 100% of the time, but it can take 5 or 6 - attempts to get Ubuntu to boot any further. + Since updating to the 3.0.0-12-generic kernel, my system as been unable + to boot. This has occurred in both an update to Oneiric beta, and now + the full fresh install, which I have installed 5 times to be sure. - I have no idea which package this bug would be against or where to find - crash reports (if there are any). Let me know if any more information is - needed. + To fix it I have had to make the boot partition smaller than 127 (or is + it 137)GB, the limit that an old BIOS can read to boot from. This was + not an issue in the 3.0.0-11-generic kernel or earlier, and reverting + back to the old kernel allowed a successful boot from a partition > + 127GB. + + To recap, booting from a partition that passes the 127GB mark on the + drive causes a boot failure in 3.0.0-12-generic, but not + 3.0.0-11-generic or earlier.
