I was able to delete the module from the busybox shell and then boot into the LiveCD, and direct rendering is now working. Yay! And thanks for the hand-holding, I don't have a lot of experience with LiveCDs.
There is one side effect I've noticed, however. I'm seeing lots of APIC errors being written to the syslog. For example: Oct 24 16:05:54 ubuntu kernel: [ 2638.714843] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:55 ubuntu kernel: [ 2639.289894] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:55 ubuntu kernel: [ 2639.403286] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:55 ubuntu kernel: [ 2639.563636] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:55 ubuntu kernel: [ 2639.627564] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:55 ubuntu kernel: [ 2639.714194] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:55 ubuntu kernel: [ 2639.723033] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:56 ubuntu kernel: [ 2640.718361] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:56 ubuntu kernel: [ 2640.718800] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:56 ubuntu kernel: [ 2640.798309] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Oct 24 16:05:57 ubuntu kernel: [ 2640.964440] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40) Over and over again, many times per second. Does anyone else see this, too? Any ideas what to do about it, other than maybe finding a way to disable logging of the errors? -- sis 760 AGP broken on amd64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34144 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
