Public bug reported:
My Compaq V6320AU [AMD Turion 64 X2 @ 1.6GHZ, 1GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce
6150 Graphics dual booted with Vista] is running an Ubuntu7.10 with
another partition [created but never got around to loading Fedora].
After a regular security update of 7.10 (not upgrade) it failed to boot
normally and thereafter during the installation would hang.
For 2-3 days the recovery mode, despite using "noapic", would not work.
[FWIW, this laptop model has Broadcomm wireless which was disabled to
install Ubuntu7.10] Since its dual booted with Windows (which boots
fine), the problem arises with the Ubuntu base installer (installation-
report package?) and it would also not recognise any external devices
(like usb pen drive) and the live CD used to hang while trying to boot
using recovery mode. Tried using a lower kernel version (7.04) to no
avail.
Today however the recovery mode worked with a "noapic" edit to the kernel so i
can access the "kern, syslog, messages, dmesg" /var/log files? Shall I include
them ?
Thanks.
