A workaround to be able to install Precise on these systems: - Boot with a 12.04 Live CD or USB. - Press a key to acces the options, select your language. - Press f6 to edit the commandline (advanced options), then press esc to dismiss the popup. - On the kernel command line, after the --, add ite_cir.blacklist=yes - Press enter
This will allow you to boot into the Live environment and try out or install 12.04. On first boot, you'll be affected by this problem again, so: - When booting, right after your PC's POST routine finishes, press the right SHIFT key. Keep it pressed until the GRUB menu appears. - Press 'e' to edit parameters for the boot entry. - Move down to the "linux" line (next to last), then move to the end of that line. - again, type ite_cir.blacklist=yes at the end of this line - Press ctrl-x. This should have you booted into your new system. From here you can do the workaround from comment #6 to make the blacklisting permanent. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984387 Title: [Dell Studio XPS 1340,Alienware m17x] Kernel panic with 3.0.0-19 and 3.2.0-18 on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/984387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
