A provisional solution is: Open like admin the file blacklist that is here /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Add a new line below with: blacklist saa7134_alsa Save the file. Now you can boot this kernel (2.6.24-15 or 2.6.24-16) without problem. But your tv card will not function. -- 2.6.24-15-generic: saa7134-alsa makes HAL to fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212271 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
