This 3.0.0-13-server works differently. At first sight it was strange: After apt-get install linux-image-server (which installed the 3.0.0-13-server), made a reboot, then this 13-server made a reset during boot process. Then I booted a working kernel (3.2.0-rc3 from kernel.org): it has been booted fine. Then I booted 3.0.0-13-server again, and it didn't made a reset, but gave me a maintenance console. (it said: Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /.) The root fs was mounted read-only, but the nodes, which i have created before, still existed, so i could made a dmesg from this boot (see attached dmesg-13-server-maintenance.txt). Then I made several reboots with this 13-server kernel, and once it has been booted well.
I've played a while, and found that 3.0.0-13-server kernel makes a fine boot, then makes a reset during boot process. Several times I've turned off the server completely, and it doesn't make any difference: one fine boot, one reset. If I boot another working kernel (I have chosen the ppa kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2-rc2-oneiric/), then make a reboot, and choose this 13-server kernel, it always resets the server. In this case (and only this case) the bios is complaining about fatal error: Alert! System fatel error during previous boot Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run setup utility Next time the 13-server boots fine. And then it goes into the cycle mentioned above. I've not seen the maintenance console anymore. And bios doesn't complain about fatal errors when the 13-server kernel is booted one after one, even if it makes a reset. I've attached dmesg output about fine boot also (see dmesg-13-server- well-booted.txt) I hope I could tell the story clearly.... ** Attachment added: "dmesg output 13-server kernel to maintenance console" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897243/+attachment/2615045/+files/dmesg-13-server-maintenance.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897243 Title: Dell PowerEdge 2900/2950 crashing with Ubuntu Server 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897243/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
