Right, I meant on booting the CD (I used the alternate install CD). > If so, could you please try the following: press F6 at the boot screen, > remove 'splash' and 'quiet' from the line, boot and report the output you see > before it freezes. Done. The output is attached below. Since it wasn't possible to save dmesg, I wrote down the output on paper and then typed it into a file. Those are the last messages I see on the screen before it freezes. Just to clear things up: - the hard drive is attacted to the onboard IDE controller (Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 01)) which works fine - the DVD drive is attached to this ITE controller which causes lockups - the old it821x driver doesn't freeze my system ** Attachment added: "dmesg-fragment" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9165148/dmesg-fragment -- [gutsy] system locks up at boot with pata_it821x driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
